Obstacles


The first obstacle, to begin with, is making the decision to change your life. That is a decision that often requires an enormous amount of courage, as it may look as though, it is an impossible task. This is particularly difficult for the individual, that has made previous attempts and has made little or no progress. 


It is also likely that the quality of the individual’s life has deteriorated, as a result of the efforts that were previously made. There is certainly no benefit in making a bad situation worse but all too often we are influenced by events, that are outside of our control. We can, however, learn to control and limit the effect, that those events have on us.


The next item to consider are the obstacles that are placed on us as individuals, and then for us to find a suitable solution for each of them. Then we must look at the obstacles that we create and place on ourselves.


It is very important to remember that we are all different and do not all have the same opportunities and options in life.


At this point it is best to look at ‘the way it is,’ and in doing so, not to become dissatisfied or overwhelmed, by what we see.
