What’s Really Stopping You From Starting Your Dreams

Published 2025-02-14 08-48

Summary

Stop waiting for perfect timing or permission. Learn the skills, build confidence through action, and start now. Your biggest obstacle isn’t external – it’s believing you can’t do it. That can change today.

The story

What’s holding you back from becoming who you want to be?

Think about it. Maybe it’s fear of failing, feeling like you’re not ready, or waiting for the “right moment.” But here’s the thing – that perfect time you’re waiting for? It doesn’t exist.

No one’s going to tap you on the shoulder and say “okay, now you’re ready.” You have to decide that for yourself. Want to know how? Start with education. Whatever skills you need, go learn them. Want a career change? Take those courses. Read those books. Talk to people who’ve done it.

Think you need more confidence? That comes from doing, not waiting. Every small win builds your belief in yourself. Start with basic habits – a morning routine that energizes you, taking care of yourself, staying focused on your goals.

The key is to just start. Trying to make everything perfect first? That’s just fear talking. Even when things don’t work out exactly as planned, you’ll learn something valuable.

In Chapter 7 of my book “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21,” I break down exactly how to take charge of your life – from breaking limiting beliefs to building real confidence and taking meaningful action.

Remember: the only real obstacle isn’t the world around you – it’s believing you can’t do it. And that belief? You have the power to change it.
