OBSTACLES EXIST TO BE OVERCOME

Obstacles will always come in our life, worrying about them doesn’t erase them, but it is actually the opposite because you make it double. Just like according to Bobby McFerrin In every life we have some trouble. But when you worry, you make it double.” This means when you worry too much about them, they become bigger problems/obstacles. So, problems exist, you have them, I have them, we all have them, big deal?! All we have to do is to acknowledge them and find the solution for them, then move on. And we shouldn’t accept to get stuck.

At a certain moment life will knock us down, but we must get up and stand up. Quitting is not an option! Obstacles that annoy us in fact help us to grow. When we do a self-reflection and ask ourselves whether we are like somebody who says I get knocked down, but I get up again or the opposite.

 

No matter the circumstances I should keep in mind my target, I shouldn’t stop aiming at what I want. Things can get really hard, but quitting is not the way to achieve, only by continuing is when I can get there. Just like Marvin Gaye and Tammin Terrell put it in terms of getting what you wish in life, “Don’t you know that there ain’t no mountain high enough? Ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you, baby.”

When we have something we really long for and feel that it should be part and parcel of our life we always fight to achievement.

 

Rephrasing the word of Marvin and Terrell “baby”. My baby could be my dream job, my dream car, house, projects, lifestyle, family life, business… so will you accept to remain in that fallen state and fail to rise and just let it go. Oh no!

 

Again you must have a positive output in life, despite all the negative times just reshape the mind.  But in real life negative and positive exist! So learn from your past negative experiences, don’t let them knock you down and keep on singing, keep on living with a positive attitude. Embrace life with a smile, it will be easier to overcome obstacles.
