INTRODUCTION

Scrolling through social media, you likely see a dozen picture-perfect lives that don't match your own. When scrolling, you likely feel your life doesn't match up to others', especially when a challenge or hardship comes your way.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret, though. Everyone faces obstacles. Whether or not they choose to share those obstacles for other people to see is up to them. Instead of dwelling on comparing your obstacles to others, it's most helpful to focus on yourself, gear your mindset to overcome the obstacle and turn it into success.

But how does one do that? Many obstacles feel daunting and impossible to beat. As a result, it is easy to become disillusioned or give up on the obstacle altogether. Or, like some people, you may get resentful of others who seem to overcome any obstacle and turn it into success with ease.

Both giving up and resentment are useless. By changing your mindset, you can become someone who turns obstacles into success. Don't get me wrong, it will take a whole lot of hard work, determination, and blood, sweat, and tears, but you too can overcome any obstacles and transform them into success.

In this book, we're going to tell you how to do it. We begin by looking at what obstacles are and how you should perceive them.

From there, we look at important points like why perception matters and the level of control you have over obstacles. These first few chapters are crucial for setting a solid foundation for overcoming obstacles.

Next, we give you the two most important steps for actively overcoming your obstacles, including identifying them and setting goals for direct action. Finally, we end by discussing the importance of focusing on yourself, emotional resilience, and continued practice.

Together, these chapters give you a key blueprint for not just overcoming one obstacle in your life but how to learn from your obstacles so that you can turn any challenge you face into success.

Whether you are facing a major obstacle at this moment or want to better your life, use this book as a guide for transforming any challenge into a success. Let's get started.

THE TRUTH ABOUT OBSTACLES

Before jumping into how to overcome obstacles, you need to know about the reality of them.

Everyone knows what an obstacle is, but most have an unrealistic and warped idea about it. Instead of viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth, people view them as events working against them. This unrealistic idea makes it much more difficult to overcome your obstacle and transform it into success.

With that in mind, you need to know the truth about obstacles: obstacles are not all bad. I know this idea might sound a little radical, but it is true. Just like everything else in life, obstacles come with both positives and negatives. Recognizing both sides will help you overcome the obstacle quickly and efficiently.

Why Looking at Both the Negatives and Positives Matters Whenever an obstacle comes your way, it is important to remember this fact. If you only focus on the negatives, which most people do, it is much easier to get distraught, overwhelmed, and depressed by the situation. This will make it more challenging to overcome the obstacle and turn it into success.

However, if you look at the negatives and the positives, you see the obstacle in a much more realistic light. This realistic understanding of obstacles allows you to think rationally and clearly about the task at hand. From there, you can begin to overcome your obstacle instead of getting overwhelmed by it.

Not to mention, you take away most of the negatives of obstacles whenever you view the positives. This will make it much easier and more enjoyable to fight your obstacles, even if you aren't necessarily succeeding as quickly as you would like.

Possible Negatives of Obstacles

Obviously, obstacles come with several negatives. Even though you shouldn't get caught in the negatives, you should be aware of them so that you know how to best go about your situation and overcome the obstacle. Whenever you are aware of the negatives, more of the power is given back to you.

As a result, you can begin to master the obstacle because the negatives are your own. Acknowledging them simply makes them less scary.

The exact negatives of the obstacle will depend on the challenge. For example, your obstacle may be finding a new job. In this case, the negatives might be that you are under financial stress, need to move, or something else related to the actual job. These negatives are different from the negatives of a different obstacle, like relationship troubles.

In addition to the obstacle centered negatives, some negatives are common in all obstacles. Most notably, obstacles require you to work. If you already have a full-time job and other responsibilities, the added responsibility of overcoming the obstacle can take a lot of your time and energy, even for the most hardworking of people.

Not only that, but obstacles challenge you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Every time you find yourself in a new obstacle, you are forced to challenge yourself to grow as a person. This process takes up, once again, a lot of energy, and it can bring up a lot of negative emotions depending on the situation.

The required effort and emotional turmoil that come with most obstacles are what make obstacles so terrible. Most people don't like extra work. So, they grow to hate obstacles.

Guaranteed Positives of Obstacles

In addition to the negatives, obstacles have a lot of positives. Most people fail to see these positives, and they focus on the negatives instead. Though this is incredibly tempting to do, you should try your hardest to keep the positives in your mind. The positives will help you overcome the obstacles, stay motivated, and enjoy the process.

Forces You to Grow

The biggest positive of any obstacle is that it challenges you to grow. Even though challenges come with a lot of hard work and effort, it is the only way for you to become the person you want to be. In other words, challenges make you a better person.

Some obstacles may make you physically better, such as an unprecedented health scare, while others will make you emotionally more resilient. It doesn't matter how the obstacle makes you grow. What matters is that you grow and become a better person at the end of it all.

Helps You to Get to Know Yourself Better

Another benefit to come out of obstacles is that you get to know yourself better. We are often trained to get to know our coworkers, family members, and friends, but we often forget to know ourselves. This makes it more difficult for us to trust our own thoughts and know what we want out of life. Obstacles force us to reflect on ourselves and the world. It teaches us our strengths, weaknesses, and limits. This allows us to get to know ourselves in a way that would not be possible without obstacles.

Improves Self-Esteem

As we grow and get to know ourselves better, our self-esteem grows as well. So, obstacles lead to increased self-esteem, which is their third benefit. Self-esteem is what helps us to know our value outside of our accomplishments and talents. It is necessary for a happy and functioning life.

Improves Relationships

The last benefit of obstacles is that they can improve our relationships. You likely have noticed that people with shared hardships tend to be some of your strongest and most trusted relationships. As you go through obstacles, you become more empathetic and able to communicate with other people in similar situations.

Recap

All in all, obstacles are not a completely bad thing. Even though they are a lot of work and can put a strain on your life, they force you to grow, help you to get to know yourself, boost your self-esteem, and improve your relationships. Remembering these positives and the negatives will help you overcome the obstacle because of your realistic and rational mindset.
