In 2016, the movie Split was based on a man with multiple personalities (who did some very bad things).

Without all the bad, I sometimes think I may have multiple personalities, too.

Here’s why: there is a part of me that is VERY eager to do more, see more, be more. I have dreams and ambitions that excite me sooo much. I feel very motivated to reach new heights.

But, then there’s another part of me.

This other side of me constantly yearns for relaxing, or for taking it easy because I am tired or stressed. Or it convinces me to pursue my dreams later, when I will feel more motivated, or more energetic or clearheaded.

Does this sound familiar? You have good things you really want to do… but when it comes to the daily decisions affecting those good things, you keep choosing the easy route?

• Not enough resources
• Time commitment to my family

Those are all true. Sigh! Always true.

Are you destined to remain trapped because of your schedule limitations? Nope… not if you reach this crucial point.
