Overcoming Obstacles
Ecrin MERAL
There are a lot of obstacles in our lives , such as perfection , fear , comparisons , expectations , disappointments , violence , and fights . We have to overcome them ; if we cannot , problems will become too heavy and we will not know whether we can control them or not .

Getting help ? Is it a signal of weakness ? Surely not . The weakness in this situation would not be getting help from friends , doctors , etc ., and letting everything go . You must believe that this is the wrong path for you .
So , let ’ s think about overcoming the obstacles . Do you know what overcoming is ? Or what it is not ? It is not surrendering . And it ’ s not like you ’ re planning everything ( as if you ’ ve solved all of your problems ), but you ’ re actually putting a bee in your bonnet by being preoccupied . This will not give you success , and neither will it help you overcome your problems .
So finally , how will we overcome the challenges in life ? In my opinion , you just need to be yourself . People can think that you are a cringe , overwhelming , or too sensitive , or they will say that you do not deserve to be loved , but they just say some stuff . They will not help you , they will not calm you , they will not say , “ It is just a phase , it is ok ,” etc ., because it is up to you to think like that . It ends up all in you . You are the one that can overcome these obstacles , and you will overcome them by loving yourself , accepting yourself , and giving time to yourself .
