Turn obstacles into opportunities.
from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino
Obstacles come in many forms, so it’s important to approach them with a clear mind. They represent an opportunity for personal growth and the development of an analytical mind. Obstacles can be internal and external. Therefore, it is important to persevere and find a solution for every problem on our way to mastering professional skills.
How to Apply This
-
Analyze the obstacles on your way to success.
Try to have a clear idea about what will cause an obstacle and why. Only when you understand the obstacle can you try to find a solution and learn from it. -
Make a list of mistakes you have repeated more than once.
If you repeat a mistake, it means that you haven’t learned from it. Try to find the source of the mistake and fix it. This way, your recklessness will not be an obstacle to your success. -
Be determined.
Any defeat can be turned into a victory if you manage to keep focused and stay determined. Failure will never consume you if you don’t give up. -
Remember that you already possess the tools to become wealthy.
Our self-doubt and despair may blind us to the fact that we are already equipped to overcome every obstacle in our way.
