Some people see obstacles as a puzzle to solve. Some see obstacles as an opportunity to grow. Others see obstacles as threats. Still others see obstacles as meaning they cannot succeed. Your view of barriers to achieving your goals affects how you react.
If you see obstacles as the world being against you or as meaning you failed, then you are likely to be overwhelmed with painful thoughts and difficult emotions when faced with blocks to your goals.
Perhaps you don’t really experience thoughts when faced with an obstacle. Maybe you immediately experience fear or shame. Fear tells you to escape the situation, that you are in danger. Shame urges you to hide. If the situation isn’t one in which you need to be afraid or ashamed, these emotions get in the way of your overcoming obstacles.
Either your thoughts or your emotions or both can lead you to stop working on your goals. You lose your passion. Perhaps you become resigned and no longer think about your goals or what’s important to you. Your reactions to obstacles stopped you from trying.
Think about the last obstacle you faced. What thoughts did you have? What emotions did you have?
Were your reactions to the last obstacle you faced accurate? Were they helpful? What is your pattern of responding to obstacles?
But then, No matter what type of obstacles you’re facing in life, remember that you can overcome them by taking the time to identify them, develop a plan, and take action! You have all it takes to overcome that obstacles facing you. You are overcomer in Jesus name!! Bishop Duke Akamisoko @ Kigali: A City on a thousand hills!!
