If you are not where you are supposed to be, something is holding you back. If you are not getting the right results, something is holding you back. If you are not meeting the right people, something is responsible for not making it happen. If you are still stuck in your past, something is standing in your way. If you are not happy, something is stealing your happiness away from you.

The question is, ‘What is holding you back?’ Why are you not moving forward in your life? Why are you not where you want to be? Why are you not making progress in your career?

The truth is: You are the one holding yourself back. Stop blaming other people for your life. You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your dreams.

No one on this planet can hold you back, but you. No one can stop you from running your race, but you.

You are not getting the right results because you are not doing the right things. You are not running your own race. You are not doing what you love to do. You are not being true to yourself. You are hiding behind perfection. You are telling yourself false stories about your life, about your situation. You are not hanging out with the right people.

You are holding yourself back because you are still living in the past. Even when life has moved on. Even when change is running faster than the fastest person in the world. You are still attached to your past failures.

You are holding yourself back because your mind is flooded with negative thoughts. You are holding yourself back because you don’t believe in what you can do. You don’t believe in yourself.

But you can change everything. You can change your life by doing the right things, by thinking the right thoughts, by hanging out with the right people. You can change your life by changing how you treat yourself.

You can move your life forward when you move forward. You can. Because nothing is holding you back. You are the one holding yourself back. If you want to change your life, you have got to change your thoughts. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to do it?’

Yes, take back your life. It is your life. You don’t need permission to live your life. If you are not living it, you are wasting it.

If you are not taking back your life, you are giving it away.

To take back your life, according to Brian Tracy, ‘You must be absolutely clear about who you are as an individual in terms of your talents and skills and desires.’

‘Every mistake that you will make is going to be because you are unclear about what you’re trying to accomplish, unclear about your goals.’

‘If you’re not organized or working towards your goal step-by-step, you must always work for someone else who can discipline you and keep on your case.’

‘You should always look for ways to do more than you’re paid for. Look for ways to put in more than you take out. Look for ways to help people to be more successful.’

‘If you want to be successful, accept responsibility– no excuses, no someday.’

‘Your success in life will be determined by the value of your contribution, by your productivity, by the amount of work that you finish, and the value and the quality of the work that you do.’

‘If you’re always working on high-value tasks and getting them done quickly and well, you’re going to have a fabulous life; if you’re not, no one can help you.’

‘You can only move ahead in your career to the degree to which you get things done and you start and complete important tasks.’

‘Become known as the person that really produces results.’

‘Don’t ever let anybody talk you into the idea that you’re not here to please or help your boss. That’s the only reason that you’re at your job.’

‘Get better and better at what you do.’
