What is the best way to overcome obstacles in life?

Meenakshisoni, the best way to fight obstacles in life in by being positive and proactive. Sitting down and letting this happen on their own will only invite further obstacles. Obstacles should be treated as a challenge and unless weclear that challenge we may not be able to move forward. I like to face challenges head on and conquer it rather than wait for it to pass.

Life is an obstacle course. It is normal to encounter obstacles in the pursuit of a goal. Actually, it is expected to pop up once in a while, causing delays or revisions to one’s plans. However, when obstacles start to become a nuisance to the point of almost putting a stop to one’s goal; or worse, making one completely abandon his/her goal, a think over becomes a necessity. Here are some helpful, tested pointers to keep one’s attention focused in achieving a goal: 1. First and foremost: “ Think positive.” This means: “Do not quit.” Especially when one is midway in working for a goal, there should be no room for quitting. To quit is tantamount to going back to the starting line of goal accomplishment. That is time, energy, money, and a whole lot of things wasted and lost. It is more costly to quit than to find a solution to the problem, not to mention the frustration one feels. 2. Keep a clear, open, and tense-free mind, ready to receive new ideas. Focus and concentrate. Think on a wide scale manner, open for options (even unconventional ones) to eliminate the obstacle. 3. Persist and persevere. Exhaust every possibility even to the point of trial and error (if doubtful), just to test a solution to correct the problem. 4. Simulate. Try to picture in the mind a possible solution to solve the obstacle. 5. Get assistance from other people who may be more knowledgeable on the work being done. They may be able to help. Their suggestions might not necessarily be the right or exact ones, but they may trigger new ideas in finding the right solution. Consider this scenario: Let’s say you thought of a new product and you are confident this product will be sellable once it hits the market. You tell a friend about it, but your friend says otherwise that it will be a flop. Your friend tells you why it will be a flop and his/her reason is: “if the product will be a success, how come nobody’s doing it?” So you decide to forget about your new product because of your friend’s comment. This scene is repeated many times all over the world. ( source http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/12488 )

The first thing you need is the ability and the honesty to recognize the difference between what you can and can't do. All the self-conficence in the world isn't going to get you anywhere if you don't have the skills or the talent to do something, or if there is a handicap that is always going to get in your way, no matter how hard you try. Most of overcoming obstacles in life depends on really understanding them, and what it is about them that is keeping you back.

sometimes suport form you family or your friends is more powerful that help you to fight obstacles out.

True. Most people - including me, create their own obstacles and then wonder what is the best way to overcome them.Do not put any obstacles in front of you.This is the best way.

To me, the best way to overcome obstacles in life is to be at peace of ourselves, and all the positive attributes will follow. A person cannot do anything good if he is not having peace at all. If we are at peace, we could think clearly and positively. We could come up with better solutions to our problems. There are so many things that money could do to solve our problem, but not peace.

For me the best way to overcome obstacles in life is through prayer. The power of prayer should never be underestimated. Prayer is the weakness of God and the strength of men. I have been through many obstacles in life and with prayer I was able to emerge as victorious. Prayer changes everything.

Hi meenakshisoni, I think the best way to tackle any resistance in life is by being positive thinking. If we always be positive, it is much easier for us to live our life. We may just lost our job but maybe that open a new opportunities for us to get a much more better job. Life must go on and have a nice day.

Life is not a bed of roses. It is FULL of obstacles that we do not expect. We need to be prepared for these obstacles so that when it happens, we will not be too affected by it. The most important thing is we have a RELIGION (or a belief or a faith) in which we could turn to when we face an obstacle. Religion teaches us to be calm in difficult times; it teaches us to be patience, too. There's no need to struggle with these obstacles. It takes patience - believing that it's all part of our lives. These obstacles will past in due time. Hope this helps.
