Some things are holding me back but I'm just not sure how to zero in on what exactly those things are so I can fix them. Whats holding you back or what has held you back (and how did you fix it)?

myself.... my fear of putting myself on the line, and failing. my fear of rejection, of new things, of judgement, of error, of new projects and jobs and interviews and people in higher positions, of my lack of knowledge, lack of proficiency.... pretty much fear to fail.
i was shy most of my life, and i've recently tried hard to change that in the past 2 years. i am definitely a lot better off than i was! my mantra now, is to constantly seek what is Good, Positive, Healthy, and Happy (all of those things together, please). that way, i will filter out the negative people and situations, and concentrate on important things. also, my confidence in myself; i worked on my outward appearance (currently trying to exercise a lot more, and have a makeup and hair routine that i feel "works" for me at the moment); my mind (i am trying to participate more in bible study, read more books, discuss a lot w/ people and friends about anything and everything, and keep my mind open to New things); and my relationships with friends and family. currently i can work on my family a bit more (i tend to be a little snappish and irritable with them =T), but i am definitely having a good time w/ friends, boyfriend, and peers, etc!! so slowly but surely i am changing my life to be what i Want it to be, not resigning to what it dictates to me. also , i'd like to work on my current job status; i hate my job, and i'm stuck here for 3 + years! :(..but i have no where else to go, and i'm not sure what i want to do (again w/ my insecurity to fail, to meet new employers and employees, etc). it's definitely slow going...but at least i know what i need to work on! good luck to you~~~!
always seek what is Positive, Healthy and Happy, and it will lead you to the right way!! :D

This might sound dumb to people but i have a gum disease and my teeth are rotting and i think that it is holding me back from getting a good job. I am a good worker and very dependable but i don't think people will hire me because of the way i look when i talk or smile. I don't have the money to get my mouth fixed so i am kind of stuck at a nowhere job with mediocre pay.

Maybe the idea that there is tomorrow. And there was yesterday too. We are conditioned to think before we act and to worry. To worry a lot. Maybe time scheme is holding you back.
I know you must have heard it a mill on times. Advice to live in the present is not such a revolutionary thought. But really now is all we have. And if you don't have it now, then you don't have it at all.

I never progressed as far as I should have because I have always been too self centered.
I need to reach out more to other people and try to help and share with them without regard for how my actions will positively affect my well being.
I think that if I could learn how to help others, I would get positive rewards in return.

My thoughts about myself limit me in doing things. I am currently reading a book titled Awaken the Giant within by Anthony Robbins. It is awesome for breaking up habits/patterns that block us. Check it out!

Fear of the unknown. We all have thoughts in our mind of changing careers, relationships, geographical locations but fear often holds us back. We start questioning our decisions, our competance, and our ability to adapt. I think fear of the unkown cause many people to go for the gusto and alter our paths.

- The fear of what people/society/family/friends will think of you can hold you back
- Your own insecurities
- Your own beliefs
Remedies for these?

well overall fear, but to a great extent
1. my inability to trust my family and the fact that I dont know how to drive.
2. I dont like depending on my family/dad for much, I need a car but I also need to nlearn how to drive.
3. Lack of resources.
that's pretty much it.

hmm..
My lack of motivation, my fear of change, my social phobia =oP lazyness.
Things that you just have to challenge and push past. You have to throw the negative thought out as quickly as it came in. Force yourself to do things you wouldn't normally do. Challenge yourself every day.
