For some reason part of the human condition is to face hurdles and obstacles. What stops us is that we often give up in the face of life’s challenges. A successful life always involves coming across obstacles and working out how to overcome them. Some of the most common obstacles to achieving our dreams and wonderful lifestyles are: • Some people just don’t know how or where to start; • Some people chase money instead of their passions; • Some people don’t go after what they most love doing; • Some people forget their calling; • Some people’s dreams get buried by the busyness of life; • Some people settle for second best; • Some people just follow the crowd, and react to life; • Some people just waste their most precious resource – time; • Some people just don’t know how to plan and set goals to achieve their dreams; • Some people expect life to be easy and therefore give up when they meet a challenge; • Some people lack the energy to keep smashing through obstacles; • Some people make the wrong decisions and pile up self-made obstacles in front of them; • Some people let their fears or limiting beliefs or mental barriers determine their outcomes.
