What is Holding You Back From the Success You Want?

We all have intentions to be the best versions of ourselves, but sometimes, life happens and it gets in the way of us having the success we really want. I have had plenty conversations with women who are ambitious, but just stuck, and they just can’t seem to figure out why! It’s something they are unaware of that is holding them back from getting the success they truly desire. They have no clue how many emotions, bad habits, or mind shifts they need to overcome first before success happens.

So, you call yourself ambitious, but are you really ambitious? Do you wake up in the morning knowing exactly what you have planned for your day? Structure is one of the major components of what will set you up for success. In this crazy world, we are constantly distracted. Sometimes, we can spend hours on social media, watching television, reading through emails, or even talking on the phone! When we have a structure in place, such as a daily schedule or routine, it’s so much easier to follow and stick to. My motto is “put it in your calendar.” It’s so easy to forget what we have planned or make other plans unknowingly, so this method can work if you put it to work.

Are you listening to other people rather than yourself? You may be sharing your goals or dreams with people who don’t really understand you. Your goals may be scaring them. Some people are very practical. They haven’t even thought about what they truly want, desire, or how great their life could get. This is a sign that you are sharing your goals with the wrong people. I challenge you to change your environment. Find people who have similar goals just like you. You will begin to make lifelong friends and thrive in this environment.

Are you afraid to take risks? You have these ideas and goals inside of you, but you’re afraid. You're maybe wondering what people will think of you or whether you'll have enough money to achieve your goals. You will never know until you take the risks. The most successful people on this planet are the people who took risks. Yes, some failed, but they tried again, and so can you. Failure is a part of success, failure is a part of progression. Failure does not mean you have been defeated, failure is a sign that you are getting closer to your goal if you choose not to give up. Failure only defeats the person who quits.

What needs to happen for you to get from one level to the next? Do you need to change your environment, incorporate a daily routine, or get out of your comfort zone? Sometimes we need support, guidance, and mentoring to get to the next level. We weren’t created to do everything on our own.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
