Patterns that hold you back

Patterns that hold you back

What made you successful can hold you back.
Not because it is bad, but because the context has changed.

Your qualities are context-dependent.
What is a strength in one situation can become a limitation in another.

Perseverance can turn into inflexibility.
A sense of responsibility can lead to a need for control.
Perfectionism can result in exhaustion.

The problem is not that you have these qualities.
The problem is that you continue to use them in the same way, while the situation calls for something else.

And this realization requires courage.
Because it means you have to let go of what always worked.

Not because it is wrong.
But because it is time for something new.
