What is holding you back?


Nishant Kumar

Your doubts about today is the major limit to your realization of tomorrow

Along with doubts about today there are many other factors which hold us back and stop us from achieving excellence, like – fear, procrastination, lack of self-esteem etc. These factors act as subconscious emotional brakes in your life.

For each short-coming in life, we always manage to find excuses. We spend endless time in analyzing things and never get into the action mode.

All of us are blessed with a high speed gear that we never use – No one has been given a dream without being blessed with the capability to realize it. Here are some factors which you need to overcome to get into the top gear:

Excuses

Excuses don’t matter; it is the result that counts. If you ever meet a failure, you should have the courage to take its responsibility and learn from the mistakes. Fools and losers have the habit of committing same mistakes repeatedly and not accepting it. If you are not successful, it is not because you are not trying hard; it is because you have been repeating the same mistakes.

Lack of persistence

Secret of success lies in two traits – persistence and resistance. Winners get struck but don’t get destroyed. You normally fail because you quit just before the results are about to come. Most of us are in a hurry for instant results and when we don’t get them, we quit. Persist your dream and resist the urge to quit.

Looking for shortcuts

People looking for shortcuts made lottery a flourishing business. Adultery acts are on the high. Believe me instant happiness and results are just like instant coffee, which do not last for long.

You need to realize that there are no quick fixes in life when craving for excellence. This attitude leads to disappointment, resentment and wastage of time. Instant results are speed but hard earned success is enduring.

Lack of understanding of law of cause and effect

For every effect, there is a cause. You have to settle with the fact that for every result you desire, you need to take an action - What you sow, so shall you reap. Life is like a garden, if you sow good seed you will have flowers blooming around otherwise weeds do not take much time to grow up.

Lack of Preparation

I lack confidence – most of us say this and never dig into the real cause of low confidence. It is our preparation that boosts confidence. Pressure haunts for lack of preparation and that is when you are not able to display your capabilities. It is imperative to know that success gravitates to those who are well prepared. Remember there will be lesser competition for every extra mile you dare to cover.

Fear

Fear sabotages your logical thinking and ability to work rationally. It actually magnifies the problem and stops you from crossing emotional prison. Fear of failure is worst than failure itself.

Fatalistic attitude

85% of your success depends on your attitude and rest 15% on the knowledge and information you have gathered through books and experience. With fatalistic approach, we have no purpose, we rely on luck and complacency becomes a way of life. This attitude becomes chief destroyer and script failure.

Lack of purpose

If you don’t have a purpose, you can’t rise high; no matter what other amenities you have. It is like driving a Mercedes without knowing the destination.

When a dog chases a car; it has no purpose and ends up getting nothing. Prayers are not answered when you have no purpose and direction.
