What’s Stopping You….?

We’re all encouraged to know what we want, to set clear goals for ourselves and devote our time and energy to fulfilling our dreams. It certainly sounds like a better way to live than drifting aimlessly through life. We usually feel better when we believe that we’re in control of our destiny and choosing the course that matches our needs and ambitions. There’s no shortage of courses and advice about how to make our dreams come true. The question that arises is to ask why so few people are achieving their goals and living a life that feels truly worthwhile. What could be missing? What could be getting in the way of our drive for fulfilment and personal accomplishment?

We should consider the fact that humans are not a fixed commodity. Like everything else in life, we’re subject to the inevitable processes of change. The dreams and ambitions of yesterday might not retain their allure as we get a little older. Our perspectives change. Our priorities shift. Knowing what we want as young adults might not survive the changes and challenges that accompany our later years.

However, when you discover what you really want in life, it’s important to consider the hidden obstacles that lie concealed within your own subconscious. Most of the difficulties we encounter are a direct result of the hidden, conditioned attitudes and behaviours that cast doubts on our ability to achieve our goals and fulfill our potential. This is where a period of quiet introspection and mindfulness can prove extremely valuable in identifying your underlying attitudes towards any form of success. Listen to your heart. Acknowledge your feelings. Understand where your reactions are coming from. As you dismantle the lingering doubts and self-sabotaging thoughts, you’ll discover a clearer pathway to the fulfilment of your goals. Rather than simply asking what we need to do to achieve success, perhaps we should enquire who we need to be in order to make our dreams a reality. Your answer might prompt you to consider some adjustments to your belief system and eliminate the attitudes that have been holding you back for far too long. Let the adventure begin!
