What holds people back from pursuing their dreams?

There is a multitude of things that can hold people back from pursuing their true dreams. But one of the biggest influences on things that people choose to do is the ideology of people around you, whether that be your parents, your partner, or even your closest friends. Their words have more of an impact on you than you may even stop to think about. If a friend tells you that you need to study, you probably will. Maybe you'll even hold a study session with a group of friends. If your mom tells you that an education is the key to a good life, that message will most likely be a driving factor that sits at the back of your mind throughout your studies. If your partner says that art isn't very exciting, you'll most probably nod along and agree, saying, "Yeah, that's what I thought, too," even when art might be the most exciting thing you have in your life. And let us consider this situation: you want to become an artist. But since your friends told you to study, you drop art for a while and focus on studying. And since your mom told you to pursue a great education, you push yourself as hard as you possibly can to achieve that goal, drifting further and further away from that dream of becoming an artist. And finally when your partner tells you art isn't exciting, you let go of it all together because no one seems to be pushing you in that direction. Pressure from outside forces is one of the main things that holds people back from pursuing their dreams.
