   • What you are looking for is not in the outside world.

   Find obstacles on the way of life. There is a saying that "the only thing that holds you back is you". This is true. However, you must reevaluate every personality or habit you have without reflecting who you want to be. You can even chat with loved ones and ask them if they recognize you with a trait that holds you back. Two common personalities that can hold you back are:
   • Self-doubting. This trait makes you immobile, immutable, and never reaching your true potential. If you are afflicted with fear of failure or insecurity, you need to fight them. A great way to combat self-doubt is to seek proof of your success. Recognize all the great results you have achieved. Then, go to a few close friends and have them say something they admire about you.

You often tell yourself that you do well under pressure, or that the task won't take time so there's no need to do it right away. Delay it for an hour to a few days, and the next thing you have to spend the night on. Get over procrastination by working hard to find out why you procrastinated in the first place.

Also, go to a place that is convenient to work and does not have many distractions.

The purpose of life is to give." Self-assessment to get closer to your truth and become who you want to be soon. . Ask yourself the following questions:

Method 2 of 3: Action

1. 

   Listen to your answer. Too many of us ignore the soothing inner calling of our intuition, the voice of love and affection for us. It reminds us to just relax and believe. You see, there's often a louder voice that hums through our mind and tells us to act. It prevents us from believing in ourselves; instead, it lures us into the physical world and is superficial for all that we seek.
   • Practice distinguishing between harsh, critical, and pressing voices from those that are soft, soothing, loving, and supportive. Then, make a conscious choice about which voice you will listen to.

2. 

   Determine what you don't want. You absolutely cannot fulfill your full potential without knowing what it is. Often times in our lives our goals change, from time to time we may feel lost and don't know what we're striving for. However, knowing what you don't want will get you in the direction where you should go and allows you to set clear boundaries.

3. 

   Practice positive thinking. Science shows that optimists tend to live longer and enjoy great physical and mental health than those with a pessimistic mindset. Looking at life positively means smiling often, trying not to compare yourself to others in a competitive way, and finding luck in risk in most situations.

In this exercise, you will write expressively about the future in 20 minutes. “Think about your life in the future. Imagine everything going the best it can. You have worked hard and successfully achieved all of your goals. Think about it while fulfilling all your dreams in life. Now write what you imagined. ” Complete exercises in 3 consecutive days.

4. 

   Take risks. Until now, are you still worried about stepping out in fear of failure? Learn how to be courageous and take advantage of the many opportunities that come to you. Successful people don't always choose to be safe. Read the situations and people to determine which opportunities are worth your time, then step up to building a winning strategy.
   • Risk-takers continually experiment with methods to improve and develop the most effective way to achieve results. Never stop testing.
   • Expect success, but be willing to accept failure. You should always picture yourself accomplishing your goal. However, failure is inevitable. Overcome mistakes lightly and acknowledge them as lessons learned to perfect your skills and come back stronger than before.
   • Living in a safe zone all the time can lead to boredom and attachment. Step outside your comfort zone by being proactive and taking part in a project that goes beyond your daily duties. Participate in volunteering, and when you do, work with people you previously prejudiced (like drug abusers, homeless people, and others). Another way to change your habits is to stop behaving like you're unimportant at work. Take a leadership position when you have more responsibility and more people count on you.

5. 

   Occasionally learn to say "no". Risk-takers are often known for saying "yes" rather than "no". This bias is designed not to let fear or doubt make them miss out on great opportunities for growth. However, as you are striving to reach your full potential, you should learn to state your opinion and say "no" from time to time. Respect yourself and increase your core values ​​by refusing to participate in activities that don't serve your purpose.
   • Of course, there will come a time when you will be compelled to say "yes" to preserve the relationship. In these situations, agreeing to do something can be beneficial, if the other person has a positive effect on your life.
   • If you are confident saying "no" is a good choice, do so without having to offer excuses or apologies.
