Hey,

So, as many of you might know. My name is Will and I started this project with lots of enthusiasm. However, along the way I noticed myself losing motivation and I quite couldn't understand why. I started to analyze every little aspect of my life. I knew that I myself was on a right path towards something great. But it always felt as if something or someone was holding myself back.

I continued reading self help books and took special care that I took them as self help and not as entertainment. I learned how to get my finances in order and start saving up. I broke a paycheck to paycheck living cycle. I learned a lot about myself and learned what kind of person I truly am. Despite all of that....there was something that would push me back down.

I was still living with my family and although I love them dearly. I realized they were the ones holding me back. It's not fun coming home to a stressful environment, constant yelling, and negative energies all around. I would come home and just lock myself in my room and not want to be part of the outside world. Without realizing it, I developed a mild depression. It was almost the same feeling I had when I worked in a negative environment (correctional facility).

Now that I've finally moved out. My health has improved, my energy is rising, and I feel less stressed. I feel motivated to once more start writing and going back to the gym.
Now if I don't make it happen, the only person truly holding myself back is ME!

Guess what I am trying to say is, sometimes in order to better yourself and to grow as a person, you need to remove what is comfortable and what is holding you back. Even if it is the people who truly love you. Sometimes you just need to be selfish and look after yourself, because after all, no one else will look out for you unless you do.
