YOUTUBE – ARE YOU GETTING IN YOUR OWN WAY

It’s a strange thing—how we can deeply crave growth, peace, love, and purpose… and still block ourselves from receiving it. It’s not that we don’t want change. It’s that somewhere inside, there’s a part of us that’s afraid of what that change might require. Sometimes, staying stuck feels safer than stepping into the unknown, even when we know that stuckness is costing us our joy.

In my own life, I’ve seen how easy it is to fall into cycles of self-sabotage—saying I want one thing but acting in a way that guarantees I won’t get it. I used to think I was just lazy or undisciplined. But the truth is, most of us aren’t fighting our potential—we’re fighting our programming: old beliefs, childhood survival strategies. And unless we learn to bring awareness to those patterns, they’ll keep running the show in the background.

This inner conflict is subtle but powerful. You can want a healthy relationship, but push people away. You can crave creative freedom, but procrastinate every time you sit down to make something. You can dream of success, but shrink when opportunities arrive. Why? Because the mind equates safety with familiarity—and unfamiliar joy can feel threatening if all you’ve ever known is struggle.

If any of this resonated—if you’ve ever felt like your biggest obstacle has been yourself—I invite you to watch our latest video here. It’s a deeper exploration of this exact topic, and my hope is that it helps you see your own patterns more clearly, and more gently. Because once you stop getting in your own way, there’s no limit to how far you can go.
