I believe that we are born in this world for greater things. There is a lot of reason we don't live up to our full potential but the most important one is the crisis of conformity. This crisis of conformity urges us to follow common norms and behaviors that are dictated by society. I'm not advocating that you be antisocial. I agree that we have to follow some life rules so society can function properly yet some of these unwritten rules are counterproductive to once true potential and progress. One of these is trying to impress people with money, car, or clothes. Another would be cordially agreeing to do favors for someone that would hold your productivity for the day or worst compromise your reputation. The most popular one would be staying for hours on Netflix or Facebook rather than finishing a self-help book or a leverage learning program that could make you progress faster. Another your be a friend who constantly asking you to lie for him or a friend who constantly borrow money from you yet never pays back. To be able to open our mind to propel us to our success, we have to learn to say NO to all these things that hamper our progress and momentum. Saying NO is a game changer. Try it say NO to procrastination, say No to friends that make you feel worthless, say NO to abusive relationships, say NO to vices that can compromise your health, Say NO to people who tell you "your no good or you're not smart enough or you can't make it”. You have the right to say NO to get your power back and your dignity back. Try it!
God bless and peace be with you.
