Like Carl Sagan's ex-wife, who was in a workshop with me years ago. She wanted desperately to write screen plays, and was a very good writer. But you could make book on the fact that her printer would blow up in the middle of the night, hours before her script was due. I think she was still programmed for failure, because it's hard to compete with a man who was as successful as her ex. If you notice yourself taking action or non-action that seems unproductive with that goal, change it immediately.
Continuous failure can be a comfortable, no risk way of life.
