Get Clear On What’s Holding You Back

What “Ins” Keep You Out?

A Reflection Inspired by John Maxwell

Which describes your personality?

Have you ever felt like something invisible is holding you back? That you’re standing on the edge of your next opportunity, but something deep within keeps you from moving forward?

Today, John Maxwell challenges us to consider a powerful question:

What “Ins” are keeping you “out”?

Let’s name a few:

• Insecurity – That nagging voice that whispers you’re not enough.

• Inconsistency – Starting strong, but struggling to stay the course.

• Inaction – Delaying decisions or avoiding movement altogether.

• Inferiority – Believing you’re not as good or worthy as others.

• Indecision – Getting stuck in the fear of making the wrong choice.

• Inhibition – Holding back when you were made to shine.

• Inadequacy – Feeling unprepared or unqualified, even when you’re capable.

These “Ins” can quietly—and powerfully—keep us out of rooms we belong in, conversations we should lead, and growth we deeply desire.

But here’s the good news: you don’t have to stay stuck.

You can begin the process of discovery and development today.
