How big are your obstacles?
Did you ever notice that if you face an obstacle head on, it looks enormous? It may be the only thing you see, and if it stands right in front of you, many times you can’t see beyond it. This is an issue I believe many people have. The obstacle blocks their vision. Could you relate?
This is where you, me, we must have a crystal clear image in our mind of what lies beyond the obstacle. This will make the obstacle much smaller and you’ll see it as nothing more than a stepping stone to something bigger. If you can’t envision what is bigger, the obstacle will always seem enormous.
That is why I love climbing mountains. We have a clear image in our minds of where we want to go (the top of a mountain),but face many obstacles to get there (the difficult climb, ladders, cables). Having the clear image of the goal helps overcome what’s in front of us. If we didn’t know where we would end up, why even hike? The outcome we are looking for is bigger than the obstacle.
Of course, this completely relates to business and life as well. Know your desired outcome in any area of life, see yourself on the other side and victorious, and the obstacles will seem much smaller.
Good luck everyone and happy living!
