“Obstacle is the way” has all of the attributes that I love about books.
- I learned about the many people in history that overcame huge obstacles by never giving up, using disadvantages to empower themselves, doing whatever it took, persevering, moving beyond their egos, never stopping moving, and focusing on the process instead of their egos.
- I was and am inspired to look for ways to tackle what has been a challenge for me in my life
- Focusing on new ways of looking at my challenges teaches me new life skills that will help me be better equipped for my current project and my future projects.
- Reminder to not waste time
- I am reminded that human possibilities are beyond what we can imagine
- To never give up
- To keep moving
- Focusing on the process and not the result which actually helps you succeed better because your aim is to learn, grow and do your best
I love the phrase, “love obstacles.” I cannot imagine a life of less than what you can possibly be when you are in the mode of loving obstacles. Life has them. We can either succumb to them, or resent them or fear them, or we can use them to fuel our growth, fuel our strengths and fuel our successful outcome.
