People will always do what they really want to do....Why would God be holding you back? How can people hold you back? It is easy for us to blame other people or things keeping us from reaching our goals but if you truly want to reach a goal you will find a way to do it.
Being that I don't know what your goal is I have taken a shot in the dark.
But I have found that even when circumstances have slowed my destination that I still ended up reaching my goal albeit a little longer in time that it took me to get there.
