Achievemephobia - the fear of success phobia, is very much like the fear of failure: both prevent the sufferer from dreaming and achieving life's goals. It is borne of the fear of how to cope with change, and how success may change things and make life difficult. It is easier to stay stuck in the mire of sameness.

Fear of success feeds on fear of coping with change, and how success will affect you, Get Up!

oh, this one is really cool. And it's SO true. I want to read a few more of your cinquains. Like haiku and tanka, it's a form I am really liking! (and the american style is my favorite, with the syllable counts)
