I think I've had this issue all my life and I know I've heard of it before- I just have no idea what it's all about, what it's called (if anything) or how to stop the cycle.

I do well in most things I have attempted. However, it seems that when things start going better- maybe just on the verge of success, I tend to stop- leaving it at that. Is anyone familiar with this? For example- one of my hobbies used to be cross-stitching. It was finally starting to look great and I was very proud of it... but for one reason or another- I still haven't finished it. This seems to happen with many things- not just hobbies.

I do love the idea of being successful at anything- and I'm kinda jealous of successful people, in fact. The funny thing is- normally, I'm the type to hate unfinished projects. hmmm... strange. Anyone know what I'm talking about at all?
