Now that I am a sophomore in college, I have grown up to experience many new additions in my life. I have grown to become a strong adult, but there were some struggles along the way of my journey as a nineteen-year-old. My life is constantly changing and has many difficulties along the way. I have recently taken the time to think of the many reasons behind the difficulties I have faced in my life, and they all come down to one thing: me standing in my own way. There are so many examples of how I have stood in my own way and I have learned to try to not let those things get to me anymore.
Staying focused and determined is what keeps us on the track to success. If we lose sight of our end goals, then we won't be presented with anything successful. There have been numerous times where I've stood in my own way of accomplishing my dreams by not staying focused and determined. I needed to sit down and remember the goal I wanted to reach, so I stay right on track. I have learned to always have my dreams in mind, so I don't fall behind on my end goal.
We all live in a world where we constantly compare ourselves to one another. This is a trait that always stands in our way. It stands in our way of trying to even go through life in a confident way. I can't even begin to explain how many times I have held myself back, because of the way I compare myself to others. It's way easier said than done but accepting the fact that comparison between others is so unnecessary in life. Live your life without comparing, because it turns out to be a great feeling.
Most of us in society are lazy. It's a proven fact. Our laziness controls everything we do. We always seem to not do things because we "don't want to get up" or "don't want to." Laziness is such a harsh term used to describe someone, but it's true that most of us are this way. Learn to not let this laziness stand in your own way of living your life. You have your whole life to live, why would you want laziness to be a factor for not completing it to the best?
All in all, we all suffer from standing in our own way of living our lives. This could be for many reasons, but these were just a few of my own. I hope we all learn to remember that the only person who stands in our way is ourselves. Because of that, let's learn to make a change to stop that. After you complete that you will start living the life you deserve to live!
