Re: Need some advice/ insight on Commitment

I've suffered this kind of mental obstacle in the past, too. It's non-trivial. I don't know if there was a "fear of success" issue or something else, but over time the near misses / stopping-shorts can add up, the numerous achievements and successes in life notwithstanding. It was eventually important just to clear an arbitrary obstacle of some import to see that I could see something planned through.

Once you succeed, then you can be confident that it meant nothing. But, sometimes it does take that one success to clear the blockage. Removing the doubt can be much more difficult than breaking through it.
