What is holding me back from being successful?
Your question doesn't provide much in the way of detail, so I'll answer in pretty general terms. Each of us is where we are in our lives because of the decisions we have made. To put it another way, each of our lives is the sum total of the decisions we have made up until right now. Effective decisions and the actions they produce take us in the direction of our goals. If our decisions, and the actions they produce, are ineffective then we will almost certainly not be where we want to be.If you are not where you want to be then the solution is to learn to make more effective decisions. This isn't terribly complicated. It does, however, require that you have a very clear understanding both of what really matters to you and what you really want. Once you have that understanding, you design goals with appropriate action steps that take you in the direction you want.I know that one of the hardest things for me to learn and truly accept is the idea that I have done everything perfectly to wind up where I am right now. that wasn't what I wanted to hear. What I wanted to hear was that my life was not the way I wanted it because of external factors. It didn't matter very much whether those external factors We're other people, politics, taxes, corrupt business owners or any of a number of other things. I just didn't want it to be me. But it was me. It was many years before I found a teacher who would tell me what I needed to understand. So when I made a list of all the things that have kept me from achieving my definition of success, my teacher noted that the biggest problem with the list was that my name wasn't on it. it was only when I accepted the truth of this that my life begin to change in a very positive way.The challenge then, is to determine what is of value to you, what you want, and then to look at all of your past decisions in light of your values and what you want. It might be that your decisions have been very effective. It might be that you are taking all the proper actions to take your life where you want it. If that is the case, you simply need to continue with what you have been doing and give your decisions and actions time to produce their cumulative effect.I wish you the very best of luck.
Is My Boyfriend Holding Me Back?
so to start off, im gunna tell yall everything. so about a month ago, my boyfriend & i got into a HUGE argument. I have had a MeetMe for a long time. Well i had gotten a new fone in january. and i looked up all of my old app names from my deactivated phone & downloaded all those apps to my new phone. well i had forgotten my password to my meetme. i had the app hidden cause it wouldnt let me deactivate it. well one day my boyfriend was going through my phone. & found it. He got mad @ me, and wouldnt talk to me. i reset my password & deactivated my account. i lied & told him i couldnt get into it. well he had my meetme page opened up on his phone. then when i deactivated it he couldnt find him. the reason why i lied is because when hes mad he gets mean. (he doent know his own strength, & i am scared. of him) hes never hit me but whose to say he wouldn't. anyways, he made me cry, then got my phone again, && went back on my history and pulled up meet me. he was like"oh so did u lose your webpage" in a smart way. i pulled him outside & talked to him. so we worked everything out and he told me that everytime i lie hes gunna call me out on it & now he does. it doesnt matter when or where. he doesnt care. well today he went with me to my family reunion & i said something i thought was true & he put up the L shaped finger and called me a liar? right in front of my family. i told him he needed to stop and he reminded me that he was gunna call me out everytime i "lie". should i dump him? i feel like he s holding me back from my dreams cause he always acts like i dont know anything. help!!! no judgemental comments
Is my name holding me back?
So I'm a teen guy and I generally like myself. Not a huge ego or anything, but I like what I see in the mirror and I think my personality is pretty legit. However, I don't always engage in meeting new people (especially girls) because I'm embarrassed of my name. In case your curious, my name is Slater. Nobody hears it right the first time,I have to repeat it, and people hear "Slader" even though I state it clearly. I've thought about going by my middle name, however my family may be upset and I'm afraid to speak up about it. And I don't know if I want that for myself. My middle name is James, however I would want to go by Jamie because it's less common and sounds more like me, or so I believe. Do you have any suggestions on where I should go with this? I've been given compliments about my name, but I've also been told it sounds like a rugged athlete, which definitely isn't me. I surf/skateboard and that's about it. I want to be more social, and this seems to be the only reason why I'm not.
Is my boyfriend holding himself back? 10 points :)?
He wants to wait for the right time.
How old is too old to change a child's name when you adopt him/her?
We are not actually ready to adopt yet. Names are just very important to me, and it is honestly the only thing holding me back from adopting. I want to pass that gift to my child-a thoughtful, loving and strong name. But at the same time, my husband and I want to consider children older than babies.
Creative Etsy shop name?
I've been dying to start my own Etsy shop, but the one thing holding me back is I cant figure out a name! I'm going to sell jewelry and accessories. the style is kind-of edgy, but still girly and modern. (and my name is Amanda, nickname Mandy, if that gives you any ideas). I would love if you could help me come up with some creative Etsy shop names! :)
I have the same name as my crush's mom?
Okay so I mentioned on here before that I have a crush. It's obvious we both like each other, but we haven't "talked" yet. I just realized his mother and I share the same name.. Could this be holding him back? I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but what if we were to get married one day..(just saying) I would seriously have his mom's name then...weird. Then if we made love, he could call out my name...then associate it with his mom...idk this is weird I think it would hold me back if a guy I liked shared my dad's name.. Am I overthinking this or is this weird? Would this hold you back from moving forward with you crush? Any similar stories? Thank you in advance!
