Why you can't get what you want? That is a good question and sometimes one that is very difficult to answer. It is difficult because you can not blame it on someone else. Most of the time, you can't get what you want because you are your own worst enemy.

1. "Subconsciously, we don't think that we deserve to succeed." - We all have emotional baggage we carry with us. No matter how much we want to be say, the President of the United States, if we do not have the confidence nor feel that we deserve it, there is no way that we can achieve this goal.

2. "Others are dragging us down and standing in our way." - It is important to try to surround ourself with those that provide a positive influence and support. Try to share life with others that enjoy the same interests, values and goals.

4. "Procrastination" - It is not possible to realize a dream if the path to that dream is not the main focus. Do not waste time and energy on inconsequential details that will not get you closer to the desired outcome but will only divert your time and efforts. Prioritize and stay focused on the main objective you are striving to achieve.

5. "Not enough education." - Whether it is going to college to gain the knowledge needed for a certain profession or just by doing research on your own, it is important to educate yourself. It is impossible to achieve a goal if you do not know what is involved in the process.

The majority of things that we want are in our power to achieve. Stay focused, educate yourself and be your own best motivator. If you know what you want, go for it.
