You’ve gotta find a way to get out of your own way, so you can progress in life. – Steve Carlton

So I make no secret about the fact that I pick these quotes out on Sunday and cue them up to go out.  I’ve also made no secret about the fact that these quotes have a way of hitting me hard during the week.  That happened today.  I need to find a way to get out of my own way in a big way.

I truly believe that a lot of us self-sabotage because we’re afraid of failure, but we’re also afraid of success.  The status quo is safe.  It may not be wonderful but it’s safe.  Here’s the thing, there are plenty of other people who are throwing roadblocks up and causing damage in your life, and just generally making things hard.  You have to deal with them, so why are you doing it to yourself as well.  Find a way!  Stop trying to get in your own way.

This is not the usual positive type post because today I had someone dump a boatload of their stuff on me, and it made me realize something. I have to find a way to get out of my own way and fast, because there are plenty of other people who get in my way.  Why should I get in my own way?  Why indeed.  So here is what I am doing.  Not only am I going to find a way to get out of my own way, I’m going to find a way to protect myself from other people’s drama as I welcome success into my life.  I hope you do it to.  Find a way.  You can accomplish great things, you just have to find a way.
