Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. Most of all, other people can’t stop you. Only you can stop you.

When was the last time you got in the way of your own success?
We are unquestionably quick to pursue the things in life that will catapult us forward into a success, but there are numerous circumstances in which we, ourselves, become the single greatest obstacle to achieving it.
Are you aware of moments where you fight potentially sabotaging your own progress? Do you believe that there are ways that you might be able to stop replicating this behavior, and instead matriculate to a behavior that serves your greatest purpose?
In our work to achieve whatever goals we might be heading towards, we are often times finding ourselves head to head against a wide swath of obstacles. Some might be physical, others mental and others psychologically impeding for a host of different reasons.
How are we best able to recognize when we, ourselves, are becoming our single greatest adversary and more importantly, what is our remedy once we come to this recognition?
I believe the fastest way to get to this diagnosis, followed by a proper solution, is to take a step back and be as neutral and self-examining as we might possibly be.
In this examination, we are most likely to see the issues that continue to impede us, and even more importantly, recognize the ones that are truly our own. In doing such, we are able to rectify our own behavior, and turn those circumstances in our favor.
This takes a lot of courage, because recognizing how, and why you are holding your own self back from achieving everything you believe you are capable of achieving, is a substantial awakening.
Even more important, is whether or not, we are capable of leveraging this newfound information to our advantage, and ultimately leveraging all of our internal skills and capabilities to undo those variables, and to ultimately massage them in a direction that will better service our needs, long-term.
If you go through such a self examination and you are able to pinpoint how and why some of your single biggest impedances are originating internally, you are then forced by circumstance to look those issues squarely and determine what remedies you might be capable, or willing to employ, so that you might ultimately rise above the circumstances.
Happy Tuesday!

*Note… I have faced this question internally on many different topics over the course of my life. Each and every time, I am honest that I am the one holding myself back, there is only my own personal effort, belief and determination that I may rely upon to rectify this circumstance. I am willing to bet that many of you would share similar stories. What say yee…
