Fork in the Road

Lately, ive been thinking about self-sabotage. What is it that drives us (subconsciously) to screw things up when things are going well? I have been victim of this mentality on more then one occasion, and have seen it around me as well. Is it that it is really easier to fail then to succeed? Where does the comfort lie in short changing ourselves the good things (even if it means having to work a little harder?) Or is it simply a question of the fear of changing the way things are? (whether it is good or bad perhaps is actually irrelevant?) Either way, there has to be a reason why so many people chose the wrong path when things are going well…i just dont know what it is at the moment.
