Obstacles can be Broken Down

Everyone who has tried to achieve anything in their life knows that obstacles do exist in life. This is a fact that cannot be disputed. These obstacles include brick walls, negative emotions, and doubts. Each of these different obstacles can be viewed in two ways. First, they can be seen as roadblocks preventing the achievement of a goal. Having this mindset of your obstacles tends to lead to failure and giving up.

The better option is to not invasion them as preventative, but rather to see them as being barriers that ensure that those that really don’t want to succeed do not. If they are viewed in this light, the obstacles become things that can be overcome by your desire to succeed and unwillingness to give into failure. The emotions that were preventing you from success before can now be turned into motivation, the brick walls can now be turned into stepping stones, and the doubts will be turned into thoughts of success.

Stop Thinking That the World is Out to Get You!

Most people in this world believe that everyone is working against them in life. They feel that the world does not want them to succeed and as a result they turn to excuses in order to relieve themselves of the blame for their own failures. This mindset tends to lead to a cycle of failure in which the person loses faith in their own abilities to succeed and end up blaming others for everything.

This negative mindset of the world is very dangerous. If you are one of the many in this world who think like this, it is important to make a change. Instead of thinking that the world is out to get you, think that everything happens to ultimately benefit you. This benefit can be teaching you a lesson, motivating you to continue, helping you out etc. This mindset is easy to achieve and almost everyone has already experienced it when they have found that a tragedy has really been a blessing in disguise.

To motivate yourself to think this way, place a sign on the back of your bedroom door that says "The world is constantly creating opportunity for ME!". Then, as you wake up and leave your room each morning, you will be reminded that the world is trying to help you and is not fighting your dreams. It is important to always look for the light even in the darkest of times and never let the world take away your dreams.
