The real reasons we don’t succeed

Take a few moments to examine your professional life. Are you where you want to be? Do you spend a lot of time thinking and hoping about what life could have been for you? Do you feel unsure of how to get to the next level in your career? {{more}}

So what’s holding you back? What obstacles are preventing you from achieving your highest potential? Do you believe that a combination of external circumstances and/or people in your life are to blame? Are you mature enough to realise that, regardless of the situation, the only person holding you back is you?

In order to move forward personally and professionally, each individual must take the time to assess his or her current situation. The majority of this assessment will be an internal examination of your belief system and your thought process around success. If you want to know what’s holding you back, spend a day with your thoughts.

People who are successful do not face less obstacles; they do not all have unlimited resources or even a secret book with all the answers to life’s challenges. What they have is an attitude to succeed, persistence that will wear down resistance, passion that keeps their dreams alive, the ability to work well with all people, a vision to keep them on the right path, and a plan to get it all done. Every employee who plans to excel on the job must have the above characteristics.

Sometimes it’s not people or circumstances but our own self-limiting beliefs and our willingness to give away our power that stifles us.

Now, let’s ask the question again: What’s holding you back?
