What's really stopping you? From:
starting that business
ending the aggression from your manager
taking a 6-month sabbatical
writing your novel
starting that relationship
ending that relationship
radically changing your lifestyle
recording an album
going part-time?
Perhaps it's
FEAR or
Of what exactly? Because you have never actually written it down and really rationalised it, it has been able to grow and grow in your mind. You can overcome this fear just as you have with so much in your Life to date. Write it down and decide how to manage it.
LACK of TIME or
You'll never have enough time. You need to get focused. Drop a few things (yes-you can) and start giving this more attention.
The ADVICE of your PARTNER or FRIEND or
Something to consider: are they encouraging you to grow? To become the best version of you? Or are they trying to hold you back and curtail your dreams? Which kind of relationship do you want?
a concern about what OTHERS MAY THINK or
Listen to them. Take feed-back. Stay polite. But then ignore them. It's your Life; get on with it.
a LACK of ENERGY or
Get energy by practising what you know to be essential for you personal motivation: MEDS. MEDS is meditation (take time out)/exercise (use it to gain it)/diet (eat for energy not just calories)/sleep (clear sleep debt).
is it just YOU?
That's easy. You're not going to block your own growth? Your own dreams? Are you? So: start now. Do something about it. Now.
