15 things that prevent us from moving forward

The path is not always easy; It is full of obstacles that prevent us from moving forward. Many of these obstacles are self-imposed on us; so we have to find a way to overcome them.

Next you will see a compilation of 15 things that prevent us from continuing towards our goal.

1. Expect things to happen without changing anything. Everything in this life needs an effort to be carried out. If we just sit around doing nothing, nothing will happen.

2. Waiting infinitely for the right moment.There is no right time so make up your mind and do it now. The more time that passes, the more difficult it will be for you to actually make the decision.

3. Planning too excessive. Do not plan things too much because it will cost you to make decisions. Have a standard plan and adjust to changes as they arise.

4. You don't want to take unnecessary risks. Let's accept it, who does not risk, does not win. Sometimes we have to bet a lot if we want to achieve the success that we long for.

5. Rejections of "yesterday" harm us in "today". Learn to leave behind all those experiences that did not go well and look to the future, in this way there will be nothing that prevents you from moving forward.

6. You do not assume your responsibility. You have to be able to admit your mistakes and be able to correct them in order to learn and move forward.

7. You want things to be perfect. You have to understand that things are not always going to be perfect. Do not be so perfectionist and you will be able to enjoy more of the situations of your life.

8. You avoid the truth. The truth is what it is, and it cannot be changed. Dodging it is not going to make it less true. Accept it and move on.

9. You have a closed mind to new ideas. To face difficult situations we need to contemplate all possible alternatives, only in this way can we find the "way out."

10. You let negative people convey negative ideas to you. Forget what others say and what they think about you. All they are going to do is put you off and put you off the road to success.

11. You keep telling yourself that you are not capable. As long as you don't believe it, you won't be able to convince anyone. Know your limits and learn how you can beat them.

12. Stick to reality. Use real data to make your decisions. Fantasies and speculations are not going to help you advance on your path so it is worth leaving them behind.

13. You expected things to be easy. Nothing happens, surely we all expected it that way. However, do not give up and keep fighting because behind these difficulties is glory.

14. You have forgotten the importance of helping others.  Take a look at the people around you and ask yourself how you can help them. Sometimes with just small actions you can improve your life.

15. You don't take small steps every day: you just want to move forward with giant steps and that cannot always be. Even the longest path begins with a single step and cannot always be covered quickly.

Remove these obstacles and you can continue on your way. Related book:
