Success is a term that can be defined in various ways and has different meanings to different people.
It can refer to achieving personal goals, such as a fulfilling career, strong relationships, good health, or financial stability. It can also refer to a sense of accomplishment, recognition, or fulfillment in one’s life.
Success is often seen as a measure of an individual’s achievements and can be seen as the result of hard work, determination, and perseverance. The road to success can be challenging, but with the right mindset, resources, and support, it is achievable.
Ultimately, success is a subjective concept and can mean different things to different people at different stages of their lives.
Meanwhile, whatever success means to you, there are two very little things that we overlook in our day-to-day life.
#1 Fear
We have fear in all forms – fear of failure, fear of unable to please someone, not having the confidence to do something etc.
These fears over power us even before we start to do something.
Which is where taking “calculated risks” come into play.
The fear of taking action to reach goals is a common phenomenon experienced by many people. It can stem from a variety of sources, such as the fear of failure, the fear of success, or the fear of the unknown.
This fear can be paralyzing, preventing you from making progress towards your goals and ultimately hindering your personal growth and development.
It’s important to recognize that fear is a natural emotion, but allowing it to control our actions can limit our potential.
Overcoming this fear often requires taking small steps, setting achievable goals, and building confidence through the attainment of those goals.
With practice and perseverance, you can learn to push through your fears and take the necessary steps to reach your desired outcomes.
#2 Distractions
Distractions can have a significant impact on your success in various areas of life. When you are distracted, you are not fully engaged in the task at hand, which can result in lower quality work and reduced productivity.
In the workplace, distractions can lead to missed deadlines, mistakes, and lower job satisfaction. In academic settings, distractions can lead to lower grades and reduced learning outcomes.
Additionally, distractions can have negative effects on personal relationships, as they can prevent you from fully engaging with your friends and family. Therefore, it is important to identify and manage distractions to ensure success in all aspects of life.
This can be done by implementing strategies such as time management, creating a distraction-free workspace, and reducing the use of technology during work or study time.

Hey Jane,
Very insightful article! The two reasons you identified for why people can’t succeed, namely lack of clarity and fear of failure, are common obstacles that can hinder personal and professional growth. Your tips on how to overcome these barriers, such as setting clear goals and taking action despite fear, are practical and achievable. It’s important to remember that success looks different for everyone and that it’s a journey rather than a destination. Thanks for sharing this helpful advice on how to attain success!

This is an incredible post that hits the nail on the head! The unfortunate truth is that fear and distractions are two major obstacles that stand in the way of success for so many people. And even with this knowledge, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless cycle of chasing shiny objects or self-sabotage. That’s why it’s crucial to have regular reminders like this one. Thank you for sharing!
