The most common and self-destructive way to hold yourself back is by avoiding the truth.
You may like feeling safe, and you are too anxious to explore anything outside that realm of comfort.
On the other hand, it could be the complete opposite caseyou thrive on escapism.
Daria Shevtsova
You run away, travel, try everything and anything once.
However, you do not allow yourself to get close enough to get hurt.
You may claim you like thefreedombut what you really like is the non-commitment.
Another common and probably the most common way people hold themselves back is with displacement.
You are keeping yourself busy, which makes you feel healthy and productive.
As positive as that is, you are still avoiding your real problems.
By displacing your issues with something else you become in danger of lying to yourself.
You will find yourself constantly saying everythings fine rather than admitting to yourself what is really going on.
Whether it is fear of change, escapism, or displacement there is noright wayto avoid the truth.
Or you gotta be married and you gotta be on the path of having a family.
These timelines make you panic instead of trusting your own instincts or trusting the process of your success.
Your dreams should not have an expiration date.
Nothing easy is worth it.
Again a huge factor that holds people back is their fear of what other people think.
Their anxiety of failing, letting people down, or thinking they wont be good enough.
They psych themselves out before they even try.
Most of the time it is over before it has had the chance to start.
What other people think has dictated our measurement of happiness.
Our thoughts have been replaced with substanceless affirmations from strangers off the internet.
We are so focused on what is trending right now rather than what is becoming.
This generation is obsessed with instant gratification.
Without instant results, we arent willing to put in the work.
We live in a world of influencers who dont have an original thought on their minds.
Everyone is just another copy of someone else.
We are all too afraid to be ourselves, because what if that does not get any likes?
Fear Of Failure Scared You Away…And It Shouldnt
There is comfort in routine.
There is this powerful ease of doing only what you know you are good at it.
It is strong to try the unknown.
Failing is not weak.
Fear of failure should not get in your way.
What truly can get in your way is the fear of not challenging yourself.
Without challenging yourself, without change, you are forever just running in circles, not moving forward.
