We all encounter Obstacles in life. For some, they can be a roadblock that stops them. Yet we all know people who faced tremendous obstacles and overcame.

There are many writings about obstacles, and they all point to the same conclusion: YES you CAN overcome the obstacles you face in life.

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards and will bluff you if you let them. If they see you are afraid of them, they will spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye and face them, they can melt out of sight.

We worry about facing mountains, but nobody trips over them. It is the small pebbles that cause us to stumble. If you pass the pebbles, you will have crossed the mountain.

And Norman Vincent Peale said: “Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they don’t have half the strength you think they have.”

So don’t wait. Be brave and face your obstacles like a hero. Yes you can overcome!
