What is an obstacle? Dictionary.com says that his "something that impedes or hinders progress." This is certainly one way to see it, but I think there are many obstacles as well as obstacles to progress. Certainly there are situations in which obstacles problems with obstacles, obstacles to our progress both personally and professionally. But I think opportunties with the right attitude, they become obstacles. Let me explain ...
All the difficulties we face in our lives,"Mama said there would be days like this." No matter our background, financial, educational or vocation, we all care encounter difficult times and difficult things. Certainly there are some procedures adopted to avoid the pitfalls of life and ourselves for success, as best we can, can, but there is still no cure for cancer and diseases that can lead to stress, financial difficulties affect all of us.
There is no doubt that it is impossible to avoid all the challenges of life andProblems. They are faced with obstacles in your life. No matter how rich, successful, or have joined, there will always be difficult times and obstacles. This is a fact, like death and taxes. What has yet to be decided, however, is how to handle these obstacles.
Depending on the problems you face, can obviously be different options for handling a particular situation. Indeed, during a particular situation can be very complex and involved many questions, I think we canManage that in one of four basic ways to what I call the four basic operations of life prospects.
The living four perspectives
Read the following descriptions to see which best describes:
1) Willy The concerns - which are often anxious and worried about the lives and problems that you provided. You can get the status of your bank account, the future health of the spouse, or the safety of your home, if you keep your job, while some of your concerns are basedlegitimate concern, you also realize that some of the things that worry is not worth your attention, yet I can not stop being yourself.
2) The optimist optically-Challenged - While fewer in number than other categories, those of us fall into this category, still easily recognizable by their enthusiasm and optimism, the voice on every issue that people can sometimes have a bad reputation around them who are irritated or annoyed by their apparent immunitylife's problems. Life could be very bright for these people it was not for the fact that recognize because of their blind optimism, not on problems before they become serious and are often very reactive, as with the obstacles.
3) The Negative Nancy - The Negative Nancy is the antithesis of blind optimism. Pregnancies often very strong negative, find something to complain about in any situation. These people have a unique ability to find the worstin people and situations. They are also determined in the negative, no matter how positive could concentrate in a situation today.
4) The Positive Realist - The positive realist, as I call it, is someone who is losing sight of the positive facts that may seem. In contrast to optical-Challenged the optimist, the positive realist will not fail to pay the bills, or getting into trouble because of an inability to face facts.
Similarly, these people have left the weight of the worldThe problems beating them, because they know we do not do the best things to feel defeated. The positive realist looks at the reality of their world, but as a feeling of despair or disillusionment, they try to use their positive energy to improve things.
The odds are good that some will be provided in each of these descriptions. The above descriptions are charicatures people. There are few real people, which would explain all the characteristics of these categories.And beat, while I do not for one minute that we are all equal, we all try to be realistic POSITIVE.
If you start to feel like negativity or worry starts to creep into your mind, I urge you to take immediate action. A bit of negativity is normal. The problem is that a hint of negativity can quickly become a pattern of negativity. You may be constant or even frequent negative thoughts to grow.
If this happens, it can be very difficult to meet againround. We will in a funk and hard to get pumped up again.
So the next time you start to feel negativity creeping into his thoughts, trying to make a conscious effort to see the positive. If there is anything like it, seems to be happy, make a list of all the things to be grateful. The change will not happen immediately, but over time there will be a positive and happy person.
Every obstacle is an opportunity in disguise
This is a life lessonI teach all my classes. Although we can not avoid the problems we have in life, we can do, positive attitude, the obstacles we face to transform them into opportunities.
If you're tough enough, with a positive attitude, I truly believe that every obstacle in your life is turning into an opportunity. This is a lesson I have learned over the years with obstacles in my life.
From the first day of my life I've had to deal with obstacles. Born with acongenital heart defect, my life almost ended before it began. Less than 24 hours after my birth I was taken to a medical helicopter and Isaac Walton Killam Children's hospital for emergency open-heart surgery.
As a very risky move at this time, doctors were too quick to tell my parents that valve surgery, I would be able to undergo even kill. But without him I would certainly survive. So, before we went ...
I was very happy. The surgeon has agreat job. Within a few months, I could go home with my parents for this first time. Unfortunately, my journey is far from over. One year later, almost to the day when I had more problems and the doctors decided that I needed another operation.
Again, the surgery went well, but doctors were too quick to tell my parents that I was far from out of the woods. They warned my parents that I will never be a normal kid. I would always take drugs. I would have myCardiologists at least twice a year, and would probably not be able, much of what "normal" kids could do. The doctors were partially right ...
There were doctors appointments and I remember the first time I had to take medication. But despite my condition, I could do things that the doctors never thought he could do what I do.
Both parents were teachers and encouraged me in sports, active as could be. I played football, basketball and baseball.Track and cross country courses. Continues, despite my heart problems, I was able to play an active role and in general a normal life.
I say "nearly normal", because although able to deal effectively with most of my health, there was a problem that I faced every day. I was a kid. Not just a little 'too short. Not just a little 'smaller than the other kids in my class. I was short. I was always the smallest guy in my class and I was grade three or four usually shorter than childrengrade below me. Even now, I'm only 4'11 ".
Because I was small I had to convince the other kids, let me play football in the schoolyard. I had twice as hard as my teammates in my basketball team just to keep pace. My height is a disadvantage me in many ways.
As a child in a different way is difficult. As briefly has been particularly difficult because the difference was immediately visible. I was teased mercilessly. "Shorty", "short stuff", "Small Fry" and "PipSqueek "were just some of the hundreds of names I was called.
At first, the name helped me angry. I felt alone and I was a bit 'like leaving a person less than my friends. But with the help of the support of parents, friends and support teachers, I could build my confidence, so that when the names came, they had less influence on me.
In these early years of my life, I hated the fact that I was teased, and I was not too happy peopleis not! But now, twenty years later, I see that the small size is a great opportunity in my life. How little has been an opportunity, because with the adversity we had, made me a stronger person and helped me with other problems that I faced on the way to deal with.
Things get more complicated
In 1991 I stood before one of the biggest obstacles in my life. I went to congenital heart disease clinic for my regular checkup and Dr. Nantin, myCardiologist, came to me then life has changed with the news. My heart condition has become increasingly complicated. Now, in addition, valve problems I had had since birth, I had developed a so-called atrial fibrulation. The two upper chambers of the heart, the atria could no longer beat. Deteriorated because of my heart function.
Dr. Nantin came in and told me, just 12 years, I put aside all the activities that burden on my heart had stopped.Because my heart is now working has been more difficult to provide only the blood around my body when at rest, with the creation of a supplementary question on my heart was things like walking, climbing stairs or lifting weights, sit with a high risk of cardiac arrest.
My world ended at that time. For a 13-year-old to find out that you do not know what to do, love is the end of the world. Dr. Nantin could also have said to me, I was not allowed to eat was so much the sports center of my world.It 'was how I expressed myself. It 'was the source of my self-esteem, the way I was socialized with friends, was my way of defining who I was. Without sports, what was left?
After a period of pity for me, I came to the realization that I had a choice. I could sit and sulk, or I could do something different in my life to find.
Now do not get me wrong, this did not happen overnight. It did not happen a week or two. In fact, it was probably several months to aYear before I started looking for other ways of self-realization. For a long time, I just rebelled against doctors and sport to continue, although not really expected. My parents brought me from all the evidence in organized teams, but could not keep taking secretly, the games of basketball with my brothers and friends, or play football in the garden, if not observed.
I continued, "rebels" in this way until one fateful day in the winter of 1993 when Ian alarm bell, how exactly how serious my condition has become.
I was with my family in Indiana. My parents have their master's programs at the University of Indiana and the whole family, mom, dad, my three brothers and I lived in an apartment with three bedrooms in the family residence on campus.
On a cold autumn day Dad and I had been running errands and returned home to find the elevators usually slow in our buildings, both occupied. We decided to take the stairsour apartment on the seventh floor ...
As we walked I felt my breath always worked and my heart beat faster and harder. That was not entirely unusual, but I knew something was wrong. I must have told my father how I felt, and stopped to catch his breath. But we were going to the sixth floor, at this point to only one home and we would anyway.
When we arrived at the top of the stairs, my heart was beating so hard it could in the throat and in my feelinghead. We were climbing on flat ground, but not anymore, so I thought it would slow down. It did not take ... I remember the apartment door and my mother opened the door ...
The next thing I remember was the paramedic was kneeling beside me, put an oxygen mask over his face. I would also like to know that Dad and I went unconscious when I reached the door. The paramedics put me on a stretcher and took me by ambulance to University Hospital.
After much investigation, theexact cause of the accident has not been decided yet. The doctors have suggested that probably happened is that my body has been asked by my blood, the heart more than it could be with his decreased pump function. Since the body is not always the oxygen-rich blood it needed, I am. A simple explanation, but I felt better.
'S "heart incident" as doctors call it was a real wake-up call for me to call. Up to this moment I would be able to forget or ignore my heart problems, becausewith the exception of my size, there were no obvious signs of immediately. Each day, was not affected by it. Now, in an instant, had changed.
Over the next few years, my health declined very slowly. So slowly, in fact, they barely noticed that it happened. Unlike a heart attack or a car accident, heart disease often do not change your life in an instant. Certainly in my case it took years for me, my worst decline ever.
Fortunately for me, fromWhen I reached my lowest point I was mentally prepared for it. I had years of training in dealing with the negative into a positive finding of in situ, and I've used the positive vision of life to help me survive.
So, what do you do when you struggle and struggle to do? They dwell on the negative? Some do. Some people will find themselves in a negative situation with a negative outlook on life, have an immediate negative reaction.
People react in a certain number ofnegative way, none of which can help them effectively manage the sitatution. Some people are suddenly an obstacle in their lives and begin the "poor me" game. Come away with a bad case of "victimitis".
For those who suffer all things "victimitis" "happen to them," is a crime. If it was stuck in traffic or find out who wants to position the menu is sold out, so is the person who suffers from victimitis personally. You will feel likewhat happens to them, because someone out there has in for them.
I use the term "about them," because that is how someone feels victimitis. The feeling, as they believed they have no control over their lives. You have no right of ownership over what happens. The things that come, the world HAPPENS to them and they are forced to deal with it.
If you are ever in the life you live, you can not let you suffer victimitis. Need to get someResponsibility for your life and realize that life does not happen to us. Life happens. It's up to us, who live in what we do.
So the next time you are confronted with a problem in your life, stop. Take a step back and assess whether there is a possibility that this apparently negative situation could be seen-no advantage to maintain. I promise you that you can stay positive there, in the end you will find waiting for an opportunity to exploit.
