We all know success takes hardwork and perseverance.But there are some factors that keeps us from succeeding in whatever we plan to achieve.
Here are nine of the biggest obstacles people put in thier own path-the things you need to clear out first if you find them in your way.

1-Envy
Sometimes described as the art of counting another persons blessings instead of your own.Envy destroys success.The more you can focus on what you have rather than what you dont have,the happier and more successful you can become.Envy is an illusion,someone else's good fortune takes nothing away from you.

2-Perfectionism
Self abuse of the highest order,perfectionism is not a quest for for the best but allowing yourself to be governed by the harshest voice in your head-the one that tells you you'll never be good enough.Perfectionism doesnt just hamper success but can also lead to anxiety.

3-Comparison
Successful people dont compare themselves to others.They know its a waste of time and energy because as you may already have noticed no one else is like you.Compare yourself only to where you are from and where you aspire to be.

4-Blaming
Our lives,our success,our achievements are what we make of ourselves.So blaming others when things do not go right just wrong.Spend your time and energy fixing the problem instesd of blaming others.Blame is just a lazy way of making sense of failures and mistakes.

5-Self Doubt
Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you go,just remember how far you have come-everything you have faced,all the battles you have won and all the fears you overcame.Dont allow self doubt to keep down,because nothing is more effective at keeping you anchored in one place and unable to move forward.

6-Fear
If You are afraid of failing,you are most likely fearful to act.Fear is only the minds way of saying that theres something important for you to overcome.So dont allow it to stand in the way of your success.Risks and dangers are real but fear is a choice.Overcome it and you can move forward stronger,wiser and smarter.

7-Distraction
Distraction is an ever present temptation waiting just few steps or clicks away but if you want to succeed,you must starve our distraction and feed your focus.Instead of momentary enjoyment.Dont let the noise of the world distract you from hearing the voice of your own success.

8-Safety
Most people will say they dont regret the things they have done but the thing they didnt do when they had the chance."Oops"comes and goes but "if only....."does lasting damage.Life is too short to wake up in the morning regretting.If you want to succeed,take chances and be bold.

9-Procrastination
Handsdown procrastination is our favorite form of self sabotage.Every day you spend procrastinating is another day spent worrying about what you need to get done so that as the saying goes you end up putting off until the day after tomorrow,what should have been done the day before yesterday.Discipline yourself to banish procrastination and you will have taken a massive step towards success.
