Once I even heard "heart failure" listed as a side effect, and I wondered how that happened.

Fear of success is far more dangerous than fear of failure, because the subconscious mind works to prevent that which it fears.

Fear of success shows up as anxiety, indecision, avoidance, procrastination or acceptance of mediocrity.
