self portrait thursday: what's holding you back?

<i>summer plumage</i>
So - what is holding you back?
Is it a lack of education? A lack of relevant skills? Wrong qualifications or certificates not recognised here?
Is it missing confidence or not having canadian employment history?
Is it a lack of ambition? Or zero enthusiasm?
Is it laziness?
Is it a career crisis?
Is it childcare?
Is it unhappiness clouding your thinking? Or relationship worries? Is it confusion?
Is lack of opportunity holding you back? Is it simply not knowing what or where or how?
Is it time? Is it space?

What is it that is holding you back?
