Get out of your own way.   Yeah, we know it's easier said than done. When it comes to life, many times we are the ones who are in our way.

The grass is greener on the other side kind-of-life.   But the reality is everyone has issues –we just may not know about them. No one is living the perfect life. So instead of comparing ourselves with everyone, why don't we start focusing on ourselves? Here are 11 ways you can get out of your own 'mind' race:
