Obstacles & Situations Blog


Well this happened to me just the other day. I was having a conversation with someone when the topic turned to a bit of trouble that she had been going through. My first thought was that of all the opportunities her situation presented, the ones that were right in front of her. Unfortunately, she didn't see it that way. She was stressed and worried about the future.You know it wasn't that long ago that I probably would have felt the exact same way she did. It seemed that each time I was getting ahead I would run into a new stumbling block and have to begin all over again. I couldn't see any way around my challenges.

So, what exactly causes people to see things with such drastic differences? There is really only one reason. People approach situations differently based on their frame of mind. Some people see their circumstances as challenges while others see them as opportunities.
People can have the same circumstances, the same advantages, and the same abilities and yet the two may act completely different based on what they think. A person that has a negative mindset can be oblivious to the opportunities while someone who has cultivated an opportunity mindset will seize upon those same opportunities. It gets down to their individual awareness.
When you begin to see a situation as an opportunity your awareness opens up and you see possibilities that you never knew were there. Only when you are in this mindset can you begin to move from obstacles to opportunities.
1) Think Positively
2) Read and Study Success stories
3) Model after successful people

Thinking positively can be much tougher than it sounds. For those of us (and, I'm talking about the majority of people) that are not used to directing our thoughts it can be a foreign concept to actually decide to think positively. When I was first starting off in this career of success development I wrote in a blog post that we should think positively to be able to grow rich. This thought came from studying Napoleon Hills classic "Think and Grow Rich." It wasn't long before an acquaintance commented on the post that they are "thinking positively" now where's the money?


Step 2 is to constantly keep your mind right by reading and studying positive stories. If we aren't careful all that our minds will take in are the negatives of life. We are inundated with one story after another of failure, loss, and distress. All this does in reinforce the obstacles that lay in our own paths. If we are to
The third step is simply to find a few key people who are living the life you want to live and do what they do. Model yourself after them. Why reinvent the wheel when others have gone before us. Modeling is most effective when you have access to the person you are patterning after but it's not necessary. Even if you do not have access or even know them well you can still learn about them from other sources and do what they do. As you do this you will begin to enjoy the success they enjoy.

Challenges and setbacks can and often do occur in life. The trick is to turn these challenges around in our favor. Our obstacles truly can become opportunities if we are willing to put forth the effort to see them differently.
