Other people's expectations, the need for approval, and emotional baggage from the past are not the best companions on the path to success, no matter what goal you strive for.
1. From someone else's idea of success
It is the hardest thing to get rid of because it is very deeply rooted in our culture. But only without it can you fully express yourself and do what is important to you.
It is you, and not someone else, who will have to live with the consequences of your choice. So why should you live by someone else's values?
In order to make it easier for you to get rid of someone else's idea of success, you first need to understand the essence of your goals. Think about why you want to achieve this or that? What will these achievements bring you?
2. From fear of condemnation
This fear prevents many of us from trying ourselves in the business of our dreams. The main thing is to understand that you are not obliged to convince others that your business is important and valuable to you. Try to combat your constant need for approval from the outside. Those whose opinions really matter to you will surely support you. And you shouldn't waste your nerves on the rest.
Focus on the process, not on the reward that awaits you at the end, and you will begin to notice that you are gradually moving towards the life you dreamed of.
3. From emotional baggage from the past
Sooner or later, you will have to let go of old grievances and unpleasant memories. Otherwise, the future becomes too similar to the past.
We often get angry at the bosses who fired us. Try to let go of this feeling and realize that everything was for the best. After all, if this had not happened to you, you would not have been able to move to the next stage of life.
By giving up something, we not only make a sacrifice, but we also get something in return, we create an opportunity to start something new.
