The only thing that stops you is your mindset.
Your mind is everything. Cultivate habits that will allow you to succeed, don't be a victim of self-guilt/self-pity, find a positive with every negative until you can eliminate any negative thought that crosses your mind and most importantly, never compare yourself to others. You are you're own person and you have you're own ways of doing things. If you fall down, get back up and start again. Turn your "cants" into "I cans", give yourself those affirmations and be confident in who you are and what you're capable of doing. If you're scared to do something, face your fears and forget what people think. Do something that others don't want to do and drown yourself with that mentality. Focus on you and only you assuring that your mind is nourished with positive affirmations day in, day out.
What you think is what you become so choose wisely.
