There are people who do NOTHING to change their lives for years, no matter how much they want it.
For example, for years they live in a city they don't want to live in, even though they know which one they would like to live in. For years they go to the same job, which has been boring for a long time, even though they know what they really want to do, but do nothing to change their activities. For years, they stay in a relationship, while their breakup is long overdue.
That's because their way of thinking is a dead end. The most common phrases they use include "we have to wait more", "now is not the time", "there is no possibility", "there is no time", "there is no money", etc.
All of these are just illusory limitations, psychological masks behind which lurks the fear that nothing will work, that it will be worse than it is now if I take a chance and try. To live this way means to miss out on your life.
