This took me 43 seconds to read...

"What would you do if________were guaranteed?"
And be extremely specific.  Usually we are what is holding ourselves back, and I believe with every fiber of my being that if we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that our desired outcome were truly guaranteed, then the doing that we make so hard would become real, real easy. 
As a matter of fact, we would probably not even think about it.  What we needed to do to make our desired outcome a reality would be automatic.

THE GREATEST DISTINCTION THAT I AM TRYING TO MAKE IS TO USE THIS QUESTION TO PUT 100% OF YOUR FOCUS ON WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT.  ZERO THOUGHT SHOULD GO INTO THE "HOW".
Stop making life so difficult, decide exactly what it is that you want and act as if it were impossible to fail.
You really have no idea what you are capable of. 
So, since this is Sunday and you have a new week ahead if you.  A clean slate of sorts.  Surprise me.  Write down the above question with the blank filled in.  Then re-read it at least once per day. 
Notice how if you honestly ask the question, how clear you become on what needs to be done to make it a reality.
Do not just read through this.  Take three seconds and answer this question... 
"What would you do if________were guaranteed?"
