When you think of your perfect life, what holds you back? You know there are those niggling doubts there. That part of you that says, "that would be great, but it won't happen for me." Try to get specific. Why can't it happen? What is it you believe that is holding you back? They are just beliefs, that's it. They are there from something someone said to you, the beliefs of your parents, the beliefs of our society. They only serve to limit you. Begin to ask yourself, "why not?" when you hear the doubt rising up. Let the prospect be so exciting it propels you into new and wonderful ways of being.
This is a hard question. I ask myself this often, and I'm never satisfied with the answer I give myself. Perhaps because a perfect life is not a perfect life!

Michael, And yet we hold ourselves back from what we really want. We keep ourselves from feeling peaceful, calm, relaxed, abundant, graceful, loving, etc. in all our situations in life!
