Who is stopping you from success?
In an ideal world everyone we come across during our lifetime would be supportive of our goals, dreams, happiness and fulfillment.
In this real world however the opposite is often the case. People who, for any number of reasons, may have tried to hinder you from achieving what you wanted at times in your life and seem to make it their business to stop you. Note: they may not even know they are doing it.
The vast majority of people who interact with you are not bad people.
They may mean well, they may not intend to harm you, they may not even realise that they are being a stopper in your life. But the honest truth is that they have not walked in your shoes and don't have your goals, dreams and desires in their heart.
Take a moment to reflect on this.
There may be one or many. They may be family members, a spouse, parents, boss, coworker, friend or rival. Quite possibly there may have been one or more individuals that reoccurs throughout the years that acted like stoppers to you.
Are you stopping you from progressing?
Make a commitment to yourself that you will not let the stoppers you encounter hinder your progress. The change you encounter from this promise to yourself maybe the magic that you need to achieve your goals.
Wishing you every success.

welcome (& help) new neighbour
kia ora lovely neighbours
as some of you know, I love the marketplace on here - (you know people are LOCAL, easy to collect) - and meet such lovely neighbours in the process.
I did not click on the 'ad' for "free house hold stuff" - as I though were GIVING away stuff - and little I need right now.
oh when I did - a very easy mistake to make - ASKING for - not giving away
Amanda & her 2 sons (12 & 16) have just moved here, out west, from Wellington - and looking for a helping hand
so generous neighbours - is there anything surplus to your requirement that you can help Amanda with?
"Hi me an my two sons have just relocated to Glen Eden from Wellington an are looking for few things for our house kitchen table an chairs pots an pans an draws cabinets etc thank you"
"16 and 12 and we are needing dinning table and chairs vacuum kitchen stuff and draws for boys rooms"
I think I have a spare large frying pan - but can't help with the rest....
if you can't help, all good - just if you don't ask, you don't get - (so see Amanda's ad - in Marketplace - under "free house hold stuff" - for her contact info)
peace & love - arohanui
