Break Free the Behaviors That Hold You Back

What do you consider to measure your ultimate level of success? Is it possible that something other than your talents, abilities, and personality or educational attainment will define how far you go in life? Or could it be the things that hold you back in achieving the real success. Real success would mean far more than making money or getting to the top and it requires more than just talent and abilities. More so, it is about a person becoming everything he or she can be.

But why we need to break free our personal constraints that holding us back to the real success. Given that you achieve something in life but does it make you happy or still not contented because it is not what you desire? For sure we know at least one person in life who possesses great talents, abilities, gifts or opportunities yet seems to have done so little with it all. Perhaps you might be looking at your own life so far and wondering, have I really been living to the fullest of my abilities? Our personal constraint set the limits for where you can ultimately go, no matter how gifted or talented you are. And it is our conscious and unconscious limiting behaviors- hold you back and determine your ultimate level of success.

Try to examine yourself and maybe you are one of these:
1. Overconfident 6. Too dominant
2. Have have low self-confidence 7. Resistant to change
3. Overly nurturing 8. Aggressive or angry
4. Too demanding 9. Impulsive
5. Low passion, vision and drive

The most useful diagnosis is one that identifies something that can be changed. So the first step to implement is getting an accurate assessment on the top one or two constraints that are affecting your life the most. Your constraints can include any behavior, attribute, or psychological condition that prevents us from performing at our highest level.

There are a lot of ways to overcome our personal constraints. Make sure to identify your top killer constraints and build an action plan. The purpose of this plan is to establish your goal, identify your strengths and what steps to do. In identifying the constraints you have to be very honest otherwise it wont work for you. Try to think of a specific situation where you have been actively and negatively affected by these constraints. The last thing for you to do is create your accountability plan. That you can make all kinds of commitments, but without someone to help me by holding me to my plan, its very unlikely I'll make a lasting change.

Act now! If we don't act- then we don't become.
