What is holding you back from being the person you want to be...?????

I really believe that one reason why people could not be what they really are is the fact that the rest of the people always judge and tend to have a bad way of understanding other's opinions or feelings. At least, this is my reason.

Laziness too stops a person from achieving their goals

Fear...fear is the biggest thing holding me back. I'd like to move to another state, but I worry that I would miss my parents too much. I visit them every weekend, and not being able to would be really hard. Especially if I moved somewhere that would only allow a couple visits a year! Fear is also holding me back from quitting my job. This would be the 4th job I quit since I graduated college in 2007. I just haven't found anything that makes me happy. But I'm worried if I quit another job, I'll be tainted and I'm going to have to start at the bottom somewhere again. I got a promotion at this job, and my boss has said I Could (as in maybe) become a manager in about a year if we get enough new work. But I have been told so many things with this job that hasn't happened. And even if I was given the opportunity to be a manager in a year, I don't know if I can make it that long. I think being a manager could make the job better for me but...I just don't know! Life would be SO much easier if I had a ton of money and could do whatever I want!

That is a good question. While growing up I was never encouraged or felt that I could do anything. I came to live in Israel over 30 years ago and I reinvented myself, but, now, I am wondering if I really found what I want to do. So, I am trying to find other areas and so far not sure if found what I am looking for.

Determination which also means a strong will should get you where you want to be.

So far it's been a combination of overprotective parents and my own fear of attacking life. I let my frustrations speak louder and got used to believing that being happy was not for me. Then about a year ago, i met a person who changed my life and made me work harder on myself. I improved greatly and in a short time too but I wanted to do so much more. Just when I was starting to get a hang of life I lost both my jobs and have been struggling every since. I know life is just a big lesson. And even though I'm late for class I'm definitely not skipping it ;)
