What's Holding You Back?

Each of us is blessed by the same loving energy prevalent in the universe. Each of us is on this planet to live a fulfilling life. The idea of being here is gaining satisfaction by doing good to others and loving ourselves. There is no shortage of resources here, be it money, time, or opportunity, you have as much access to them as the next person. Then why are you stuck in a rut? Why does it seem that the harder you try, the less success you actually seem to touch? The answer is simple, you don’t trust the universe to support you. This lack of trust is characterized by three primary weapons of paralysis.

Doubt

While you have great plans to take off, there is always a niggling doubt at the back of your mind. This is the nagging voice that tells you that what you are hoping to achieve is not easy. It convinces you that no matter how hard you try the idea is not likely to succeed. This inner doubt makes you rethink everything that you would like to do and makes you decide that it would be a better idea not to do anything to upset the apple cart. It makes you settle for less than you should have.

Fear

The paralyzing thought of a possible failure can keep you from even thinking about taking action in a new direction. You fear the thought of things no working out so much that you simply decide not to move an inch from the place you are currently standing in life. Fear prevents you from living up to your full potential, simply based on a “what if” situation that may never even come to pass. The mere thought of a public failure fills you with so much anxiety that you don’t want to ever put yourself in that situation.

Anxiety

From a happy place where you thought up of a nice new idea, which you know would help you; you go to doubting that it would work. Then the doubts all culminate in the fear of failing spectacularly at this idea and cause you high levels of anxiety. This stress is literally manifested on a physical level on the body with an elevated heart rate, and shallow breathing. The anxiety you feel when you go through this negative spiral of emotions holds you back from living up to your full potential.

Now that you know what’s holding you back, how do you move past this and onwards in the march of living your life purpose?

Stopping these three demons from striking you down is easy. All you need to do is educate yourself. Doubts only arise from ignorance. When you know the truth about what you intend to do, are well researched on the subject , and suitably prepared to handle the project, you will no longer have quite so many crippling doubts.

This is not to say that you will instantly be free of fear and anxiety, no, but you will be better able to handle them. Use affirmations to keep yourself on the positive flow of your life path. Believe in the Law of Attraction and ensure that you are able to focus on what you truly desire.

Affirm to yourself – “Wonderful things happen to me as I fulfill my life’s purpose. ”
