Know The Barriers To Success - Break it Smartly

1. Seeing success as being determined by external factors. (So if I fail it's circumstances or someone else's fault.) This takes away my sense of power and keeps me stuck in failure and helplessness.

2. Personal blind spots. Sometimes we keep failing but we're blind to the fact that there's something we're doing that is causing us to fail. That could be related to our communication style, our attitudes, lack of knowledge and ability, pursuing something that doesn't suit our gifts and talents, and so on.

3. Self-sabotage. Sometimes we don't feel we deserve to succeed so unconsciously we do something that causes us to fail. This includes meditating on self-limiting thoughts (Eg, "I could never ...; I don't deserve ...").

4. Feeling ambivalent about the goals you've set. We often set a goal that is someone else's goal so we're not really sure if it's what we want ourselves. That affects our motivation, and our will to succeed.

5. Fear of change. All successes bring some change - and that can feel quite threatening. And we're often comfortable with our life as it is now - and so we wonder if success will really make us happier.

6. Pressure from others who don't want you to succeed. It's very common for our peers to be threatened by success. and we know they'll be sarcastic or mean if we succeed. Hence, we don't try our hardest as we recognize the cost will be social isolation or rejection by our friends.
