Have you been wondering what your biggest obstacle is when it comes to your career? The answer is that it is probably you. There are a number of reasons that you could be your biggest challenge without even realizing it, and that’s what we’re going to be taking a look at in this article. If you would like to find out more about the problems that you could be causing for yourself, keep reading down below.

Not Enough Self Belief

One of the issues is probably that you don’t have enough self belief. Often, people find it far easier to believe in others than they do in themselves, but this mindset isn’t going to get you very far. You’ve got to know what you can and can’t do, being aware of your limits will help you to set boundaries which will in turn, make you feel better. You may not think this is the case, but when you know there is something that you simply can’t do, you know how far you can go in this direction. Keep in mind though, that you can always try to push past these boundaries if you feel confident enough, it’s just a case of getting to the point where you feel like you can. 

Believing in yourself is essential, because if you don’t, you will never have the courage to pursue things that feel as though they are out of your reach. Often, these are the things that you want most.

No Motivation To Do Better

Another problem that most people end up having at some point is that they have no motivation to try and do better. There is a difference between being motivated to do better, and simply wanting to move forward. You can say that you want to do something as often as you like, but this doesn’t mean that you’re going to be making any positive steps towards getting there. Getting motivated can be tough at the best of times, but you’ve got to find a way because otherwise you’re going to be shooting yourself in the foot. Wanting to and doing are two completely different things, but when you want something enough, you’ll make the effort.

Being Afraid Of Failing

Finally, a lot of people are afraid of failing. When it comes to something big and important such as changing the lives of people for the better, you’re always afraid you’re going to mess up. Sometimes, it’s smaller things such as taking on more responsibility, but it’s still scary and this can put a lot of people off putting in the effort. When you do this though, you are essentially giving up which is not something that you should ever do.

We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now have a better understanding of why you are likely the biggest obstacle that you’re going to have to face when it comes to your career. You need to be willing to do whatever it takes to get where you want to go, or else you’re not going to be moving in the right direction. Good luck.
