1izjgt.jpgObstacles or Opportunities?

Have you ever done something like an obstacle course, or any other form of exercise that challenges you in some or other way?

Sorry...what's that? Oh, you have! Well that's good, then this is for you. If you think back to that time when you were challenged so badly? What was your mindset?

Did you see a giant wall infront of you and then though: "Oh look a wall, guess I'll have to turn around now", or did you try and find some kind of way to work youself around or over it? If you did, then well done, you did the right thing. I'm not saying that you are never allowed to turn around from it, just don't turn around if you haven't given it your all. Make the best of that moment and search for an opportunity to make it through, around or over that wall that you are facing so that you can learn from it, either to make it past the next wall or to help the person that might get stuck behind that same wall. It's better to try and to fail, than to fail to try!

The human mind is a spectacular piece of equipment if you use it right. If you can try to find an opportunity to grow from an obstacle that challenges you,then the battle is halfway won. Don't try to fix the obstacle, have a look at your mindset first!
