What holds you back? What stops you from completing your goals, chasing your dreams and grabbing them? What holds you back from doing what you have always wanted to do? Is it fear, fear of failure? Fear of what others may think? Of not being excepted? Is it too stressful right now between work and the kids, and running the house? Are you sidetracked, being pulled in to many direction at once all with glittery promise. Depression because you haven't succeeded and you feel like you are just …
