Obstacles

If you are good at something, or if you have achieved a noteworthy goal, you overcame a number of obstacles along the way.

If  there’s something that you don’t do well, or it there is something that you tried to achieve but failed, the are obstacles in the way that you failed to overcome.

If did not reach your goal, it was for one of three reasons. Either you didn’t put in the required effort to overcome those obstacles, or you put a lot of effort into an ineffective plan, or you became frustrated and conceded defeat, handing an easy victory to those stubborn obstacles.

The good news is that you can still overcome the obstacles and reach your goal. But in order to do so, you will need to do things that you have never done before, and you will need to do them in ways that you have never tried before.

Give up on your old plan. This is very important. Even if you think that it was a good plan, if it didn’t give you the result that you wanted, it was not effective. 

Let go of those ineffective ideas. You are not married to them. Get the guidance that you need to succeed. Talk to someone who has achieved something similar to what you want to achieve. Ask them what you need to do; they will probably tell you. When they share their advice with you, don’t question it. Follow it.
