I think it was the fortune out of a Chinese cookie that conveyed this advice on me: "Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off of your goal." The wisdom of that statement immediately struck me, and I began to wonder, almost as soon, "How can I put that on a t-shirt?" It didn't take long to come up with the arrangement you see here...
Back: OBSTACLES WILL DISAPPEAR
The wisdom in this advice is hard to dispute: When you are so focused on achieving your goals that nothing else matters, you find solutions to every problem that tries to get in your way. If you stop to look at the obstacles that might block your path, you take a chance on being scared off by their apparent magnitude. By keeping your attention concentrated on your goal, however, it becomes the controlling force in your efforts, and the rest of the world dwindles in importance.
Maintaining your concentration is of paramount importance. Focus on your goals, and keep your attention there. If anything tries to get in your way, the obstacles will disappear because the intensity of your effort will show you solutions that might otherwise not be apparent.
As always, comments are always welcome. We appreciate your feedback.
