This quote means that success can be both exciting and overwhelming. When you are successful, you may feel excited and proud and but it can also leave you feeling uncertain and out of control. Success means your life changes and this can be an intimidating experience, as you may worry about how to handle the new situation and how people will react to you. Success can both consecrate you and loose you; it can give you a certain degree of respect and regard, as well as a feeling of being lost and uncertain.
