The topic of overcoming obstacles has been fascinating to me. How are some people able to come out of challenging situations negatively impacted while others thrive in their lives?
There have been various accounts of people getting caught in a similar difficult situation, but who came out of the experience feeling different – with some less negatively affected than others. This could have been based on how they perceived their situation and whether they acted to overcome their circumstances and potential negative effect versus becoming passive.
What situations have you felt you’ve overcome well? Are there tools that you developed that you rely on as a result to continue to overcome difficulties?
I’ve blogged about similar topics along with writing articles for magazines. I’ve gotten to the point where I wanted to challenge myself with a bigger piece of work. I’m now polishing up my first (hopefully) ebook entitled: “In Search of Ganesha, the God of Overcoming Obstacles.”
Look for it within a week! In it, I share my own experiences on this topic, my reflections, lessons I’ve learned (and still learning), along with tools I’ve found useful that I try to utilize.
