Use your mind and believe in your views and let people do the talking while you unravel the real you.

5. Who or What is holding you back from doing what you wish to?

When you know how you want your life to be, then put your mind to work and think about all the obstacles that are pulling you back.

And when it comes to knowing who is holding you back, then obviously it is you!
