4 Reasons You’re Not Where You Thought You’d Be By Now

Get Out of Your Own Way

Taking stock of your current situation, perhaps you expected to be somewhat farther along in your life endeavors by this time. Presuming that you haven’t set extremely unrealistic goals for yourself, let’s examine a few critical reasons why the choices you’ve made, or have not made, are responsible for where you are now.

Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself

Fear is the number one inhibitor in life. While a healthy dose of fear in a dangerous situation is a benefit, all too often people allow the fear of the unknown, the risk, or the challenge to block them from moving forward. Take some time to reflect on crucial decisions you’ve made over the years to figure out and determine whether you made them out of fear or courage. No one gets anywhere in life without taking risks, and if you’ve played things too safe, work on trusting yourself more to come out on top of whatever challenges arise in your life or career.

The Race is Only With Yourself

Comparisons are almost never fair, so don’t waste your time agonizing over them. Each person is unique, with individual talents and personalities; no two people can live out the same life, so why berate yourself for these seeming failures? You should be comparing yourself to you, though. Are you a stronger person than you were, with more developed life and career skills? As long as you are moving forward and upward, you are improving your life.

Get on Your Own Side

Self-judgment is the worst form of destructive thought. Hindering your happiness and daily performance through self-criticism will definitely put a crimp in your life goals. Getting out of your own way and allowing yourself to make mistakes to learn from and move on is the biggest asset you can give yourself. Become your biggest cheerleader—as positive affirmations will allow you to succeed far more than negative self-talk.

Goal Setting vs. Priority Setting

It’s easy to make a list of goals that sit on paper looking significant. But what plan of action have you taken to accomplish each of them? What choices have you made every day to achieve those goals? If they are truly a priority, treat them as such. People get comfortable with their lives (no matter how unsatisfactory they may be) and can fall into a rut, where original goals may eventually be perceived as idealistic dreams. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their goals in life, but this requires constant review and enormous effort on your part. As the saying goes, life is not for the faint of heart, so get out there and conquer the world!
