Monday Motivation: Perception of Obstacles

Obstacles: those bumps in the road, the scary monster in our way and the bully that’s trying to stop us from getting to where we want to be. With everything we try to do, there is going to be an obstacle– guaranteed. What may hinder us from winning is our perception of how we view these barriers. Are they small? Kinda big? Ginormous? Scary? Puny? Do they scare you away from your dream? Make you reconsider whether it’s worth all the trouble of blasting through the great wall of fear? Or do you want to achieve your goal so bad that you don’t give a you-know-what and will stop at nothing to get there? All in all, the choice is yours and you have the power and choice to change your perception of these obstacles from the size of Mount Everest to the size of an ant hill. Believe that you can do it and that you’re strong enough. Trust that there is an end to the hurdles before you cross the finish line! Know that the reason why there are obstacles on each course is to test how badly you want your goals! If there weren’t any barriers, would it even be worth your time? Absolutely not.

So, take a look at some of the things you want to do in your life and envision your path to your dreams. Do you mostly see the obstacles or your goals?

Happy Monday, everyone!

Monday Motivation: Success

Want to know why most goals are not usually met by the majority of people? Because they believe that success is a straight, upward road. It’s not. You’re going to be tested by the universe to figure out how badly you really want that goal. It is guaranteed that you’ll hit some bumps in the road, experience setbacks, and hear negative opinions of others that may make you question your quest. 

The key to success? From what I’ve learned from my extremely successful personal and business mentors: perseverance. Many, many, many individuals simply give up at the first sight of an obstacle. “Oh, it’s too hard. I can’t do it. I’m tired. Blah, blah, blah.” I call bull shit. The real answer to quitters’ reasons is that they don’t want it bad enough and can live without it. 

So tell me– how bad to you want success in your life?

Happy Monday y’all!
