Default Why Does It Seem Like So Many Obstacles?

I've pretty much accepted responsibility for my own success or life or goals, and I'm still working on it but I don't feel I'm in "victim" mode like I was when much younger.

So why does it still seem there are so many obstacles to so many of my intentions? So many "things" seem to say I "can't" have what I want. What is UP that?

Can you specifically say what are the obstacles you seem to have to the intentions you have?

Do you have any of the things that say "I can" to the things you want?

One thing that I can say reading your post is that you seem to have negative habits of thinking. First find out those negative type of thinking you have. List out those negative habits of thinking you have and burst each of them.

Yes there are "cans" as well. Some of the obstacles I know, others I am unsure what they are...what causes the block. I may have negative habits from a very long history of negativity and unproductive perspective, which is mostly over.

Sometimes we can not move forward in certain directions. But there are always opportunities for advancement somewhere else.

So, as to me, the solution to negative thinking doesn't consist of solely positive thinking but rather a combination of positive thinking and analytical-constructive thinking. I acknowledge that some opportunities might not be there at the moment, but there are ways to go forward.
