“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.”  


Norman Vincent Peale


We all have obstacles in our life.

All too often we are afraid to face them but that doesn’t make them go away. It usually just makes them bigger and harder to handle!


If we stand up to our obstacles our courage and self-esteem will grow and we may realize that the obstacle wasn't so big after all!

True, courage is an key aspect of successful life and most of the people lack the courage that's why they chose pain but in my opinion we don't deserve pain, we can get problems, obstacles, hardships and failures but here we have the choices in these situations as giving up and rising up, if you give up then your situation will going to worsen but if you rise up and show some sort of courage then there is an possibility to shine once again from darkness, but you should have that fighting attitude. For example, there was a person whose parents were facing moments of depression and they were going through tough time because their big son left them after marriage and now not allowing them to his home, and this person was youngest at home and they don't have an own house they don't have any family support and they are all alone as family but this person didn't gaveup in tough times he left his job and he decided to do an work from home jobs so that he can take care of his parents, but initially he faced phase of adversity but he didn't left the hope and he continued his hard work and never gave up and one day he landed on Steemit Platform which changed his life, and this person is me. The toughest part of life is when our close one left us without any reason for someone else, and the parents are the one who have dreams for their children and most importantly for their first son, but destiny is really cruel, my brother left us and and my parents were broke down because for them my brother was like an backbone, but i want to change their life once again and i am trying to bring that smile on my parents face. So at last i want to say one thing that losing is an choice and winning is an choice it's upon us what we have to choose, and my biggest goal of my life is smile on my parents face. Thanks for sharing and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

It is heart warming to read of the love and care that you have for your parents!

Thank you so much. Wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

Each obstacle mobilizes in us new internal resources, sometimes unknown, that allow us to put into action a new range of possibilities, leading us to learn and to face the new challenges that are presented to us.

"Man is made in the face of adversity." Antoine Saint-Exupery

Cheers.

Thanks for your quote as well!

The obstacles are important in our lives because we learn from them, if we did not have obstacles to overcome or problems to face life would be very easy and that would be a monotony. Do not worry about looking for obstacles or problems to be great people in life they arrive alone and when we least expect them.

Yes they do arrive when we least expect them!

I think we gain strength and courage by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face and are able to confront it. We all have obstacles in our life, its up to us to not be afraid and face them.

Don't let your obstacles hinder your dreams, instead of fear, have courage to face and stand firm to every test of life for us to win the battle.

If you really want to become a sucessfull person and achieve your dreams you life, one of the most important things you must do is face your fears and every obstacles that appears in your way. If you can do that, then your future will be very bright.

Nelson Mandela once said "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
In life we must strive to always face our fears, because that alone will make us grow in courage, attitude and self-esteem.
I'm always inspired by people who had such difficult lives and overcome all difficulties and managed to be very sucessfull.

Yes they are inspiring!

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing to do, but to hold it together and face the obstacles, that's true strenght and is that strenght and courage that makes our self-esteem grow and in the future don't be afraid to face the same obstacle again. :)

"strength and courage that makes our self-esteem grow"

I kike it.

Sometimes when we think about a problem that we have to solve and how difficult it will be, after solving it we realize it was not so difficult as we tought and that we lost too much time worried about it.
With that tought on mind, i can only agree with this quote that You will find that problems have half the strength you think they have. :)

I'm glad that you liked it!

Challenges and obstacles are the part of life, We should not afraid of them,
We should make them stairs to reach our goals.

"We should make them stairs to reach our goals."

I like that!

Life is not easy, and if it were, it would be boring and we would not learn anything. The harder the obstacle is, the stronger we will be if we face it and the bigger we will be. More experienced we will be. Greetings and thanks for sharing today's appointment. Happy day!...

I love this quote. In our life we all face obstacles and i think its quite common to have fear and sometimes we don't know how to deal with them, sometimes we even make more effort trying to avoid them than to face them and it only gets worse...Some obstacles really scare me, but i will try my best to always face them and when i feel its too much for me, i will ask for help from my family and friends but i promise i will face them.

Courage is not the absence of fear but the acquired ability to move beyond fear.

"Courage is not the absence of fear but the acquired ability to move beyond fear."

So true!

Running for obstacles will make them more bigger, face them, They will be nothing, it's a mind game, just make sure you have a strong mind setup.

Yes we need a strong mind!

Right you are,
Every one should face the obstacle like Santiago , this will make him experienced and harder then he can the success in his life.

How beautiful life would be if everything we want was easily within reach, but it really is not like that. To achieve a personal goal, we must overcome the internal and external obstacles that prevent us, such as the lack of: knowledge, skills, motivation, self-esteem and fear of failure, so to be successful, we need to have faith in us , that we trust that we can achieve it. To overcome the obstacles you need to accept the situation and the feelings it generates. Remember that you are the only person who can decide what you should do and what you want, Happy Day for all

"you are the only person who can decide what you should do and what you want"

Yes as far as it's in our power to do so.

Through problems and trials in life that I understood my strengths and cappacity as a person and molded me into a strong person today.
:)

If any challenge in life comes we have to stand up to it and solve that because no one else will help us its our problem we have to do our best to overcome that obstacle because glory is ahead of it

That's true!

challenges make us stronger and these obstacles are the opportunity to go beyond them these might test us out but it's possible to over come it

To evolve as people, to learn and achieve a strong personality and resources we have no choice but to face the obstacles, moreover, to ally ourselves with them.

no doubt, at some point we all must stand up and do something sitting o our asses will bring more obstacles, and saying we can't deal with obstacles is just killing our self slowly.

you got a right to fight for your life!!!

not just thinking "I can't live like this something need to be done"

or feeling sorry for our self.

well...

JUST DO IT

keep up motivate people and remind them that reading your beautiful quats it's not enough
they need to do things in order things to happen

and defiantly got my upvote and I following you now.

Yes, there is no use feeling sorry for ourselves!

There are a lot of difficult obstacles on our way, do not let yourself be one of them. We must overcome the obstacles that stand in our way, however difficult they may be. Recall that: "The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it"

"The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it"

So true!

  • This point is true since no problem is bigger if we do not give importance.

  • In addition you always have to be optimistic and bold to face problems that never fail.
    @calitoo

  • Yes be optimistic and bold!

To achieve success, we undoubtedly have many obstacles. I have seen many stories of successful people and all of them have gone through many obstacles. "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome."

Thanks for your quote!

Thank you for sharing this motivating phrase today!
"The problem and the solution are in your mind"
When we see a problem the size of a mountain in front of us, fear takes advantage and makes us feel even smaller. The obstacles in life are not easy but they are the ones that lead us to victory. Thanks to that we can have that victory guaranteed. The most important thing is to have the courage to take the first step. Happy day.

"The most important thing is to have the courage to take the first step."

Yes!

In life, of course the journey that we go through is not easy. Many of the obstacles and obstacles of life that we often experience.

However, all that is just the first step towards success. The tough sailor is not born from the calm waves. Every job certainly has obstacles that we have to solve.

"The tough sailor is not born from the calm waves."

I like that one!

Obstacles only exist in people's minds. When someone proposes something, has the will, disposition and strength, there will be nothing to stop it, you just have to make the decision to do it!

Yes we need to decide!

Learn to not fear the unknown and develop a great inner strength to have dominion and strength with any obstacle. A timely phrase (colloquial) is: "Grab the bull by the horns"

Yes grab it by the horns!

Always better to face challenges head on or even better, find a way around them, or maybe see them differently. I think I like the last option the best. 😊

Over, under, around or look at them differently. Good!

You Will Always Make It You Try. You Will Only Lose If You Give Up. Courage is the best thing that happen to anyone. Great post @goodvibrations!

Well yes :)

Once we face that obstacle it sure becomes an easy deal to make it go away !

Obstacles only lie in our minds, but we are much stronger than it.

Obstacles stop us from reaching our destiny but we should not give up either we are losing or winning but in the end it will make us stronger

These obstacles not here to stop us, they are here to give us courage, we should stand against these obstacles and then we'll achieve what we want to achieve.
