In psychology, we call it Jonah Complex and it's exactly the same thing that you described. There is no doubt that people fear greatness. We all want to be the beast, until we find out what it takes to be a beast. As human beings, we don't like responsibilities. But that's the thing, there is no greatness without being responsible, responsible for your actions, thoughts and feelings, responsible for your attitude. So basically when someone is afraid of greatness, it's the responsibilities that come with greatness that he actually fears. That's why it's so important to be responsible. Without responsibility, there is no freedom nor any greatness.
