The Power To Overcome Obstacles Is In You
We live a life in which we are socially conditioned to look only at the negative side, the barriers that prevent us from seeing further. Barriers that, to be overcome, require exceptional learning and character. Possibly in your life, as in mine, you are just concentrating on looking for solutions. And often alien to you, isn’t it?
The point is that when we try to overcome these obstacles, we don’t trust so much in who we are as people, as human beings. We don’t believe we have the right tools and options that we need to fix this situation, which are inside of you, in your heart. The fault? You don’t trust your power, your enormous inner innate potential.
When it comes to solving problems, we tend to leave ourselves behind. We continually seek to improve by following others who mark our surroundings, without listening to ourselves. And in the end, we become copies of ourselves. We also try to look like our idols and role models, believing that they represent and have what we don’t have. What will make us happy…
You have everything you need to excel
Why is this philosophy a mistake? Because the person you should want to imitate is yourself. And simply seek to improve and expand your essence, your potential as a human being. Life presents us with obstacles to overcome ourselves and have the opportunity to realize once and for all that we have everything it takes to trust ourselves.
We are different, and therefore each of us will solve the same problem differently. It is good and healthy to have references, inspirations and life teachers from which to draw what is suitable for you, but never forget yourself to be like them. It is best to focus on yourself and avoid comparisons.
In my life I’ve learned that the key to being able to overcome myself and break any barriers present in my daily life is knowing myself, knowing who I am, learning to discover my innate talents and knowing how to use them to the full. Accept my faults, honor them and understand that I’m not perfect. And if I can’t solve one of these problems, I’ll have to be humble enough to ask for help.
Each of us, including you, is an extraordinary being. But you still haven’t stopped to “wish with your heart” and take the first step. Regain confidence in yourself. You are capable and full of vital talent; it is necessary to carry out the adventure of life.
What are the main ingredients to believe in you?
Humility and attitude. Know what you want and why you want it. Find what defines you as a unique and different human being. That could mean your ultimate goal. Instead of worrying too much about the difficulties and obstacles in your life, take time to understand their strengths and increase your own vision.
Grab what defines you and empower it. Don’t let negative thoughts get in your way of being the best self you can be; the one who has the solution and the power to overcome any obstacle he desires.
