Hesitation allows the moment to pass, the opportunity to be lost, the enemy to get the upper hand. Hesitation turns into cowardice. It stops us from moving forward, from taking initiative, from executing what we know we must. Hesitation defeats us. So we must defeat it.

Waiting for the 100 percent right and certain solution leads to delay, indecision, and an inability to execute.

Self-conceit impedes progress.

Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.

They don’t realise that they have failed to begin with by not having any Goals. 3. Fear of success — A low self-image or fear of having to live up to their success causes some people to fear success. 4. A lack of ambition. Our limited thinking prevents us from progress. There was a fisherman who, every time he caught a big fish, would throw it back into the river, keeping only the smaller ones. A man watching this unusual behavior asked the fisherman why he was doing this. The fisherman replied, “Because I have a small frying pan.” Most people never make it big in life because they are carrying a small frying pan. That is limited thinking.

They hesitated. Ah, the downside of perfect obedience: crippled initiative.

We cannot succeed when half of us is held back.

My ambition is handicapped by my laziness.

Without conviction that you can make change happen, you will not act, even if you see the vision. Your feelings will hold you back.

The great obstacle to progress is prejudice.

Impatience is a great obstacle to success; he who treats everything with brusqueness gathers nothing, or only immature fruit which will never ripen.

There is nothing more harmful to the success of an endeavor than timidity, pusilanimity, and doubt. This type of cowardice that I believe only the lazy possess. I do not believe anything to be impossible; nor am I amazed by any invention or discovery, which is why I do not find any idea utopian. What is essential is that the idea be put into practice. Begin! The rest is weakness and an erroneous concept of human power. Wanting is doing!

Procrastinating on something important is choosing to delay a better future.

But here’s the truth: the ultimate thing that stops most of us from making significant progress in our lives is not somebody else’s limitations, but rather our own limiting perceptions or beliefs.
