I just started a thread asking fellow members what they are allowing to hold them back. For those of you who have made it out-
What were you allowing to hold you back before you broke free?
What did you have to sacrifice? i.e. family, friends, sanity, health
What allowed you to break free of this?
Was the sacrifice worth it?
