Bill Bartmann Never Gives Up…Persistence is the way

Bill Bartmann believes obstacles are a necessary part of life; just as you need to breathe, you will be faced with obstacles.  Know they’re out there, accept them and lean to overcome them.  The quote Bill Bartmann likes to repeat about obstacles is

“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere,” Frank A. Clark.

What is the obstacle?  Often, it’s just an illusion; something you see when you take your eye off your goal.  In your mind the obstacle is a road-block and your negative beliefs prevent you from attempting to get around it.

When faced with obstacles, accept them as something that is supposed to be there.  Realize that achieving your goals is a process of detouring around road blocks and overcoming obstacles.  You don’t have to like the obstacles; however, expect them and deal with them.

Bill Bartmann compares obstacles with tests in school.  You may have dreaded tests; however, you expected them.  The test helps assess whether or not you are ready to move on to the next level.  Are you ready to face obstacles and move on toward achieving your goal?

You must be able to embrace obstacles without dwelling on the negative feelings they bring about.  Face your challenges head-on and get the job done.  The sooner you focus on what you need to do to cope with a situation, the sooner it will be over with.  You might even find that it wasn’t as overwhelming as you anticipated.  Some obstacles are actually opportunities in disguise.
