I just read this on Mark Sisson's MarksDailyApple, and wow, does it apply to me.

"Self-handicappers, in fact, block their own success right out of the gate by lowering expectations for themselves typically in an effort to shield their egos from failure. In their minds, experts, say, it’s easier to accept a limited life than the menacing prospect that they might truly “fail” despite their best efforts. For these folks, it’s less a dearth of actual ability than a constant crisis of confidence and even self-worth. To accept, let alone pursue, a life of health and vitality, you first have to believe that you deserve it."

I've never seen it phrased so well, and it just hit me in the gut. I'm putting it here so I don't forget. =)
