I think it's important to identify obstacles that hold people back from accomplishing stuff. Yet, strangely, I think people refrain from talking about the obstacles because to speak of them is considered making excuses. You have to though, have a clear understanding of what really does hold you back from accomplishing some goal. And usually we don't really understand what holds us back. Often it's some things wandering between the conscious and unconscious. And/or it's a whole wealth of minutiae that is beyond the memories ability to hold on very well.

One hates to go on and on about some creative project that they've never even really started upon. But, at least to some extent, if done correctly, it can be worthwhile and even essential to do so. To some extent.
