Why Obstacles Are Blessings

‘Obstacles are a blessing.’– Jeff Hoffman & David Finkel

If you know what to do with what you are going through in your life, you are going to come out stronger.

If you know how to manage your situation, you are going to come out better. You are going to come out smarter. Whatever it is that you are going through in your life, it is not going to kill you. It is only going to make you a better human being.

You will learn a lot from your situation if you do not resent it, if you do not fight it.

We learn from something when we accept it. To get there, you have got to first position yourself for greatness. When you are ready for greatness, whatever it is that is trying to stop you from getting to where you want to go cannot stop you from getting there.

The only person who can stop you from achieving your own greatness is you. If you do not stop yourself, no one can stop you. Do not give up.

If you think of giving up, remember that no situation is perfect. If you can focus on getting better, on learning, nothing can stop you from getting to where you want to go.

Before you go, don’t forget that ‘Today is the first day of your dreams.’

3 Things To Do When You Fail

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Who is perfect? Are you? If no one is perfect, then we can’t avoid mistakes. We can’t avoid failures.

Failures are lessons. They are not roadblocks. If you pay attention to what you are doing, why you are not getting it right, you can learn a lot from failure.

‘Don’t play the blame-and-shame game- just prove your critics wrong.’

George Beahm

Do not let failure stop you from doing what you love to do. To move forward, you must take risks.

You must, according to George Beahm, ‘Reinvent yourself.’ If what you are doing is not working, do not stop there. Do not stop there. Find something else and do it. Do not stop living your life. Do not limit yourself to just one thing. No, you can do a lot more than you think you can do. Why not give it a shot?

‘Learn from your mistakes, and constantly work to improve your life.’

George Beahm

When you fail at something, it does not matter what it is, according to George Beahm, ‘Don’t play the blame-and-shame game- just prove your critics wrong.’ You do that by working harder than you have ever done in the past. Do not do it to shame others. Do it to improve yourself. Because you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your failures. When you fail, instead of blaming other people, take full responsibility for your life.

And when you fail, all you need to do is to step up your game. Do what George says. ‘Do great work.’ When you ‘do great work’, great things will come to you. And you will ‘start living’ your real life.
