As 2012 continues to fly by, are you on track to accomplish all of your
goals by year-end? What obstacles have you encountered thus far? How have you
overcome the obstacles? Or have you? It is easy to let an obstacle stand in the
way of us reaching our goal.
An obstacle is defined as, “something that obstructs or hinders
progress.” Obstacles are there to help us determine how important a goal really
is. If it is truly important, we will overcome the obstacle and continue on the
road to success or significance as SOS Leadership teaches. If it is not
important, we usually set a new goal hoping that it will be easier to
obtain.
The late Paul J. Meyer
once said, “Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set
yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard
for obstacles and other people's criticisms carry out your plan.” Obstacles can
come in many forms. They can be other people, you, fears, or time. We cannot
let obstacles stand in the way of us reaching our goals. We have to find the
strength within ourselves to overcome them. Christopher Reeve once said, “A
hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure
in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”
Over the next few days, think about the progress you have made towards
accomplishing your goals. Think about the obstacles you have faced and possible
obstacles you may still face. Make a commitment to accomplish your goals in
spite of the obstacles. It will be worth it! Good luck on your journey. You can
do it!
