Overcoming Comfort Zones and undervaluing abilities
One common way people hold themselves back from finding their calling is by staying in their comfort zone. This can manifest in only applying to jobs online or doing extensive online research without actually connecting with people in the field. By staying in the comfort zone, individuals miss out on opportunities for connections, insights, and unexpected directions. Another common hindrance is doubting one's abilities or undervaluing them. This can lead to a lack of confidence in pursuing opportunities or sharing one's true talents. To overcome these barriers, it is important to step out of the comfort zone, explore and connect with others in the field, and embrace and value one's own abilities.
