5. Lack of commitment

"Most people who fail in their dream fail not from lack of ability but from lack of commitment." ― Zig Ziglar

6. Lack of discipline

You do not need to be disciplined in every aspect of life, just the critical ones.

“Discipline in perception lets you clearly see the advantage and the proper course of action in every situation—without the pestilence of panic or fear.” ― Ryan Holiday

7. Old believes or assumptions

Your past is not your potential.

8. Too much fear

9. Lack of energy

10. Bad emotions: jealousy, gossiping, envy, etc.

Bad emotions have a heavy weight. They pull you back as you sprint to your future.
