What holds you back?

A heartfelt thanks to all the people who share their views on my daily posts in terms of how my posts are helping them, how they feel addicted and look forward to my posts every morning, how comfortable they feel in sharing their views with me. It is so much satisfying that my little efforts are making a difference in people’s lives.

However, a thought struck me this morning as to what holds them back to share their views, appreciations, or their opinions openly, when there is nothing controversial about what they have to say. And a good number of people approaching me like that made me concerned.

No judgments to any of them. But my heart feels for them as I was exactly like them a few years ago. There will be a lot of people in my network who would know what I am talking about. I exactly understand how it feels, what exactly goes in the mind. But I realized, it was not the other people out there, it was about my own perspective about myself that was stopping me to be who I, deep down, wanted to be. And that one perspective, not just blocked my connect with the world but with my own self. It not only slowed down my journey to success but was also impacting my relationships, both at the professional & personal level. 

And for all those people who hesitate to speak their views openly or chose to stay quiet out of the fear, I chose to write this post and share how it feels when I am out of that self-created emotional web, how free I am able to breathe, talk and share, how carefree I feel about who thinks what about me because what is utmost important today is to what I think about myself. Trust me, it’s a different life altogether when you accept yourself, love yourself enough and do not look for validation from people or hold yourself back to be yourself. When I changed, I witnessed the world changed, the opportunities changed and my life changed.

I understand the value of that little help, that guidance and that trust that my mentors gave me that changed my life.

Give yourself a chance to experience the self-love & freedom to be you. There is a hope of being a better version of who you are today. And all that is needed is that first step towards change, a decision to hold a hand that can help you transform your life experience.

I was helped by someone and I owe the same to someone. I will be glad to be of help in you experiencing the transformation.
