Challenges and Obstacles

The path to your goal is not always going to be smooth. Obstacles will arise and problems will develop, but you have to remember what you're striving for.... don't forget the big picture and don't let small mishaps or small failures stop you.

Every obstacle or challenge you encounter on the journey transforms you as you acquire strength of character and the qualities and abilities you need to overcome the obstacle or challenge. The emergence of these qualities and abilities shape you into the kind of person you need to become to achieve your dream. For that reason, challenges and obstacles are great indications that you are well along the way on your journey. In fact, the bigger the obstacles and challenges you face, the bigger your success will be, and the closer you are to achieving it.

If you have ever faced anything in your life that you had no choice but to overcome, you will have found strengths that you didn't know you had. Those strengths you gain from your character and transform you into someone greater than you were before. Women who have given birth know this well. Mothers need to be strong to raise and care for a baby. They need patience, tolerance, determination, and physical endurance. The experience of labour and giving birth prepares them for motherhood with the necessary strengths and qualities to do it well. It's because of her strength through the most difficult times that many of us consider our mother a hero.

Challenges and obstacles are tough for all of us when we're first confronted by them, but they're only tough while you haven't found the solution and the way to overcome them. You are never given an obstacle or challenge that you do not have the ability to overcome. Never.

Thus the purpose of challenges and obstacles is to prepare us with the qualities and abilities we will need to maintain our dream when it comes true. Without having the skills to handle success, your dream would go up in a puff of smoke no sooner than it had arrived. So challenges and obstacles are preparation for our success.
