5 Things holding us back from success and living our dreams. What are the top five obstacles in your life that you must overcome, but avoid?
• Your own self-doubts. Find ways to overcome them and help yourself grow in confidence, love and courage. Don’t overthink.
• Family – Most, if not all of us, pick up the back habits and bad attitudes of family members, most importantly the views of the parents. Until we break from their control we remain enslaved to their views and opinions and won’t form our own views and opinions. This is a form of captivity.
• Peer Pressure – and People-Pleasing. A real freedom is learning to go your own way and not care what friends, family and the crowd think. Freedom is thinking on our own, to the thoughts we want to have, and live out our dreams, ideas, and so on as we see fit for the better of our own future.
• Rules were made to be broken. If you think that rules are getting in your way, please remind yourself that all through human history that it was the rule breakers that made the greatest discoveries and got things done. Rules are a good idea, but sometimes they hold us back from success.
• Lack of Vision, Imagination: Many people believe that they are not good enough and even when they have amazing ideas they refuse to put that idea into action because they doubt that what they do will ever be of any worth, so they don’t try. So maybe that is another point, don’t fear trying.
In life there are a multitude of obstacles that we face. Many people are not taught to take on Life-Challenges with hope, desire to get past them, or even to try. Many people defeat themselves from the beginning because they lack confidence and will not try.
The sad part is that many things that we don’t try are the very things that will make our life change in leaps and bounds and take us to the destiny of the Courageous, what we really deserve.
All the best from James Martin Sandbrook.
