Many people believe that life doesn’t come easy, and it 's not all sunshine and rainbows. Me, coming from an extreme sports background, tricks never came first try in fact, me learning my first turns on the hill took over weeks of repetition. I still, till this day struggle every time when I learn a new skill. Hours of swearing and constant falling helped me achieve my goal, and man how much more satisfying is the reward when you had to work so much more for it. To overcome these obstacles I look at it as three steps, to understand, to adapt and to prepare for what comes next. I think it is very important to understand that obstacles are only there to make you better, gain some major life skills and that they are not there to bring you down. It is …show more content…
For example, It 's been four hours of trying this new trick and I 'm exhausted but I don 't want to stop until I finally land it. Now the determination is great at this point however, this is going to get you nowhere. I take a break and actually break down what I 'm trying to achieve in simple steps. Next, I make a checklist in my head marking off everything I 've been doing right and what this does is help set priorities on what to work on. After I use this trick that has been passed on through generations of my sport, which I also believe will help in any given situation. I close my eyes and try my absolute best to dream of me accomplishing my goal, landing this godforsaken trick that 's been making me lose hair. I don 't believe in magic but every time I do this it works. Now you 've conquered your rage-inducing goal, and jumped right over that hurdle. It feels great, but don 't think that this is the only time this is going to happen. So you have to prepare, make every obstacle in life easier and easier so you won 't have to deal with and the immense amount of stress each
Living in Conditions that Ultimately Made Them Stronger John Quincy Adams once stated, “patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.” In the world today, obstacles have an impact on the way one goes about their respective life. These obstacles range from emotions to illness to social class. How one interprets those obstacles decides whether that life goes down as a success or failure. As a society, we often admire those who take their obstacles and use them to create a better life.
Though, obstacles are a constant part of our daily lives, overtime, we learn to cope with those obstacles. We discover how to jump every hurdle, or to simply walk around them. Granted, it seems that the biggest hurdles come when you try to achieve personal goals. Until you are an adult, there are rarely any decisions you make that are your own. There are usually constant factors that may influence you.
Challenges are hard to face sometimes when you don’t put your mind to it. Everybody has to go through adversity, and at least once in their life have to overcome it. There are many different ways to do so. People overcome obstacles by facing their problems, accepting who they are, and being determined. First off, people overcome obstacles by facing their problems.
“All the adversity I 've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Walt Disney . Who would have thought Walt Disney experienced obstacles? However, obstacles are a fact of life, no matter who you are.
Mariah Sanabria “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” Booker T. Washington Life can often be full of obstacles. However, that does not mean that overcoming them and being successful is not possible. Obstacles in life are there as challenges. Obstacles that people face will show who they really are.
After the obstacles he has overcame Walt Disney once said “All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Everyone has a time in there life where they need to get passed something that is in there way. When this time or times come everyone would find a way to get through it, whether it is asking for help or doing it on their own. When someone says the word adversity one would say you have to be hard working, determined, and strong would pop into their mind.
Striving for a goal is essential for anyone to get anywhere, but certain goals can’t be forgotten. The book Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer, describes the necessary skill to climb a mountain. This past summer, my dad decided he would do a triathlon soon. Just like the Everest climbers, his goal could not be achieved without practice. He started swimming laps at the YMCA and found numerous bike paths to train on.
Michael Phelps, a professional swimmer, once said, “There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits,” (¨AZ Quotes¨). This quotes shows that throughout one’s journey they will eventually have to go against many obstacles, and have to find a a way to get through them.
We must stop trying to find a way that circumvents obstacles. Every difficulty we successfully confront serves to strengthen the ability to conquer future obstacles. Personally, I have been fortunate enough to not face as many conflicts as others at my age tend to face. However, I do still have obstacles that come in my way, determination, resilience, and persistence enable me to push past adversities and prevail. I believe all problematic times in life helps us enjoy when things are going smoothly.
Everyone throughout their lives has gone through difficult phases in which have helped them see the world in a different way. For example, people have become better after getting past obstacles, they are able to prepare themselves for what’s to come later in life, and they are able to become successful in life. At some point in life, every person has though tab our giving up due to circumstances that have been concurring frequently during a period of time; therefore, people think that there are no good things in life left. For example, when my mother was younger she had to live with my grandfather’s cousin because my grandparents were moving up north for the season and they did not want my mother to make their trip more difficult than what it would
Coming into contact with challenges and struggles can seem awful and unwanted at first. But as we get around those struggles and challenges we can look back and be grateful we went through them. Sometimes we can face something so scary it feels as though we will never get through that stage but when we do that person will be so much stronger because they had to go face to face with what scared them. Challenges are bumps in an individual 's road to success, some may appear bigger than others but perseverance can and will help a person to get over those bumps. The more challenges someone gets past helps them get closer to their goals in life.
Obstacles can be challenging, and difficult, but people can overcome them by never giving up, always trying their best, and surrounding themselves with families and friends. Two stories that I have read that show adversity are “A Work in Progress” by Aimee Mullins which is about a little girl losing her leg. The other story I read is “So Far From the Bamboo Grove” by Yoko Kawashima Watkins about a little girl that has to leave her home because of war and has very big obstacles to overcome. Aimee Mullins and the Kawashimas both face obstacles that include losing family members, walking very far in intense weather, and people doubting you and trying to stop you. In the end they all make it through the the challenges mentally and physically.
In fact, obstacles are a necessary impetus and a driving force in our lives to keep us motivated towards our ultimate goals. Overcoming these obstacles requires hard work, motivation and confidence. When overcoming obstacles we learn to work hard to achieve goals and push through challenges. Sometimes obstacles are punishments to help us find the right path and learn from our mistakes. A common example of this would be failing an exam, this is a small obstacle that can easily be overcome by figuring out our mistakes and fixing them.
Aim for something like, exploring and learning new ways to achieve the target. Don’t stride, take small steps. This will not only help you minimize the failure possibilities, but it will also boost your morale. 2. Think before you leap
