7 Things that Make You Stuck in Life
Having a life blueprint gives us the power to know if we are on the right path or wrong and what we should keep doing or stop doing.
But to be able to know the wrong and right path for ourselves requires us to be very serious with our own lives.
If you find your life is not going the way you wish it to be, take time to cross-check what you are holding within these 7 things and quit doing that.
Poor Planning
Many people are really good at saying one thing while doing another thing. Not sticking to what they put in their to-do list or what they said they will do.
We have to put the first thing first and do what we say we will do. We have to stick and marry our plans while directing our time and energy to necessary activities only or important things.
Not Keeping a Record-Journal
It is crucial to understand who you are and who you are not. Where have you been, where you are right now and where are you are going.
If you don’t keep records of your personal life, you will mislead yourself one day. Your life is worth living and so your life is worth recording –Robin Sharma. Keep the positive and all small wins.
Focusing on your background
The ancients believed that “If you don’t have a story, you don’t have to live up to it”.
It means you have to get rid of any parts of your story that take your focus on what is missing, what has always been and the story that reminds you of your problems or any negativity.
Focusing on the past negativity only weakens you. You have to leave away from your childhood story from your parents and all the environment around you that affect you in a negative manner. Live in today’s — live in the moment.
Living Others Life
If you find yourself, you know others' life more than yours — you have a serious problem.
If you find yourself worrying about what people would say if I do this or if I do that, your friends, family or community — you have a serious problem.
If you find yourself stressed, frustrated or weakened with other behaviors. The way they treat you, call you or living their life — you have a serious problem.
If you only understand that the most important person in this world to you is you then you will start living that which you desire to live, stop worrying about others and go for your own.
This is good to keep in your mind; You were born alone and will die alone no matter if you are living your real life or not — still you are the same person, and honestly, no one will grant you someone else life span.
Refrain from placing your focus on other people’s lives and reclaim it back to you. You are worth.
Not Dreaming
As Les Brown once said: “Many of us fail in life not because we aim too high but because we aim too Low”.
I met people who don’t expect a lot from life. They use their own self-limiting beliefs to decide for them.
If it happens they want to do something, before even trying they will find bunches of reasons why it won’t work. They have so many excuses, blames and complains — things are not well, I can’t do that, no one will support me.
We need to adopt this kind of imaginative mindset, if someone can do something then we too can do it. No matter the situation or circumstances. It is all about dreaming big, as everything starts with a dream.

Fear
What’s holding you? Not start what you always wish to start? Is it fear?
Fearing unknown people, unknown events, unknown situations?
Zig Ziglar defines fear as the “False Experience Appear Real”.
Ask yourself what kind of false experience are you holding inside your imagination or inside your mind? That keeps you in darkness to not do what you always wish to do.
Waiting for The Right/Ideal Situation
Sometimes you may find some people waiting for other people, events, moments, money, skills, experience to show up to do the right thing.
I’m asking you what if all of those didn’t show up?
Will you give up?
Stop waiting. The only moment we have to live is now. We should stop living like we have 10000 years ahead.
We should remind ourselves that we are here to fulfill our deepest desires and live a joyous life.
And what I also believe is that, if the student is ready the teacher will show up.
As a student you have to get ready and prepare yourself for any ritual — do not wait until.
