It’s common for us to know what’s in our best interests, and then do the exact opposite. These unfortunate actions often keep us from realizing the things we most want in life.

This has likely happened to you. Don’t feel bad. It happens to everyone. Thankfully there’s an antidote. All you need to do is recognize why you sometimes work against yourself and you’ll find you’re able to interrupt the process in the future. When you know what’s holding you back from realizing your goals it loses its grip on you.
