Overcome Obstacles to Achieve Your Goals
As Robert Burns said, "The best
laid plans of mice and men often
go awry". Yes, they do! Even if
you have made a terrific,
well-thought-out and detailed plan
of how you will get from point A to
point B in your life, obstacles
appear than goals.
You are well on your way to
getting everything you want and
suddenly, out of no where, this
huge brick wall is blocking your
path. What to do?
You basically have four choices.
You can....
1. Quit. This is the easiest of
all the choices.Just throw up your
hands and walk away. After all,
maybe where you wanted to go wasn't
all that important anyway. Was it?
2. Wait....maybe the wall will just
crumble into dust. Then you wont
have to worry about it and can
proceed with your journey.
Well...maybe...but brick walls don't
crumble very easily and they tend
to last an awfully long time.
3. Move the wall. Good luck. Walls
are'nt easily moved. Trying to move
a brick wall will sap your
strength....and after you have given
it all you've got, the wall will
still be there.
4. Go around the wall.That might
work...unless the wall is as long
as the Great Wall of China. It
might be a long trip.
Wait...did I say four choices?
Actually there are five choices.
Number five is Find Another Way to
Reach Your Goal. When you started
going toward your goal, you
attempted to anticipate the
obstacles and roadblocks you would
meet along the way, and plan
accordingly.
When you run into an unexpected
brick wall, step back and focus on
the essence of your goal. Get
creative. Look for high ground and
assess the landscape. There may be
an even better road to your goal
that you've overlooked, and if you
can find it you'll have the wall to
thank!
Warmly
