Every good thing or worthwhile endeavour won’t be easily and quickly achieved. Time and sometimes a lot of time is required.
During the process, we begin to notice various obstacles stopping us from achieving the goal.
Some will immediately give up and find something else to do.
Some will undertake personal development to acquire or perfect the required skills to surmount the obstacles.
However, when we just think all is set, it comes unglued! What again?
Obstacles are most often clothed as insurmountable problems. In reality, they are opportunities in disguise. Ryan Holiday in his book "The Obstacle Is The Way" puts it very explicitly :
"Obstacles are an opportunity to express/practice virtue, patience, courage, humility, resourcefulness, reason, justice and creativity ".
It takes persistence, perseverance and patience to keep going on without giving up!
Borrow a leaf from the Marines : Adjust, Improvise, and Overcome.
Are you ready to keep going?
