Sometimes it's not "WHAT" but "WHO" that hinders us to achieve great things, more often than not that "WHO" is "YOU"

Cloquet hated reality but realized it was still the only place to get a good steak.

The only hindrance to thy greatness is thyself

Whenever fear gets the best of me and is being a hindrance in achieving great things, I'd stop and reflect.. Then ask the question, Which is greater, my fear or my dreams? Then, I'd smile and say to myself, my Dreams. :)

After sounding a lot like other people in my decades of past I have found my own voice when I realized I needed Christ and in so doing I am becoming just like Him as time marches on.

Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your Self Realization. You are not to expect an explosion, for the explosion has already happened - at the moment when you were born, when you realized yourself as Being-Knowing-Feeling. There is only one mistake you are making: you take the inner for the outer and the outer for the inner. What is in you, you take to be outside you and what is outside, you take to be in you. The mind and feelings are external, but you take them to be intimate. You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely a projection of your psyche. That is the basic confusion and no new explosion will set it right! You have to think yourself out of it. There is no other way.
