Jenifer Metzger : Proof You Can Overcome Any Obstacle

Contributed post.

Sometimes, all it takes for you to overcome an obstacle is to really believe that you are capable

of doing it. It might sound cliche, but eradicating your limiting beliefs to overcome this hurdle is

half the battle. Here are a few reasons you can overcome the next one:

You have survived 100% of your worst days - we’ve all had terrible days, and everybody reading this has survived each one of them.
You wouldn’t have an obstacle to overcome if it wasn’t there to teach you something - you have to think of life as happening for us, not to us. When you switch your mindset, great things can happen.
There are people who love you - you likely have family and friends who care about and love you. A strong support network is key for overcoming just about any obstacle.

Here are a few more reasons and ways you can overcome things that may be holding you back:

You Are Unique

There may be things about you that are entirely unique - things that nobody else can do quite

the same. Perhaps you’re great at making friends with just about anybody, or talking your way

out of any situation. The key to overcoming obstacles is recognising your unique set of skills

and how they can get you ahead.

There Are All Kinds Of Support Groups

If, for whatever reason, you can’t speak to your family and friends about what’s going on, you

will usually be able to find support groups both in person and online that could help you. There

are abortion support groups, addiction support groups, depression support groups, and more.

Talking to other people may be the first step to getting help.

You Have A Purpose

Everybody has a purpose. Some people know what theirs is from birth, most often though,

people don’t have any idea what their purpose is. It won’t usually come knocking on your door,

so you need to give your life purpose. What matters to you? What do you love to do? You do

have a purpose, or you wouldn’t be here. You can overcome anything otherwise you wouldn’t

be here facing it in the first place. When you find your purpose, you should be able to overcome

obstacles more easily.

Advice For Overcoming An Obstacle Now

Are you faced with an obstacle right now and you just don’t know what to do? Below you’ll find

some advice you can use now:

Stay in the present moment - it’s no good focusing too much on the past or the future.
Stay in the present moment and focus on what matters.
Speak to somebody you trust - an outside perspective could help.
Become more self aware - be mindful of your thoughts and feelings and pay attention to how they affect your decision making.
Engage your own creativity - sitting down and forgetting about the obstacle for a while, rather than focusing on it, can actually help you to come up with a solution. Do something where you can get into a flow state like painting.
