Where Do You Hold Yourself Back?

Where do you hold yourself back? If you really give this question serious thought, there is no telling how empowering the outcome can be. When we address what is holding us back, we can then move forward faster.

Where do we hold ourselves back? Sometimes the answers are obvious and other times we must dig deeper to name them. Here are some answers that I've experienced over the years from clients and colleagues.
  • Telling only part of the truth - not the "real" truth
  • Going along with the crowd instead of finding our own voice
  • Not showing up fully
  • Listening to others instead of ourselves
  • Giving in to fear
  • Settling for less than the best

In order to move forward faster, either personally or professionally, we all must address everything that holds us back from living our fullest lives. Where do you hold yourself back? Just by answering this one question will move you forward - as soon as today!
