Mental Obstacles

The biggest obstacle in human mind is actually human mind itself . The most important thing that stops you from achieving your goals is your own brain and thoughts . If you start thinking that you are not capable of doing the things you want to , you will never be able to do them . But if you are optimistic about the things you aim for , your chance of accomplishing them increases dramatically .
To sum it all up , your only enemy is your own mind . You can become the best version of yourself by learning how to control your thoughts . So almost at everything your mentality determines your success level .
Most of the successful people empower their mental side so they can stop the mental obstacles from letting them down . For instance , the best example is athletes . They have to deal with a lot of stress so their mental side should be really strong . During their time on the court they have to be focused on what they are doing and clear their minds from every single thought which are related to something else . If they don ’ t focus , their performance would significantly decrease . They have to be brave and confident and they should perform thinking they are the best . That way they can mentally win against their opponent . A famous quote by an American psychologist William James says that ‘ You are not what you think you are , but what you think , you are ’. That explains the importance of your thoughts in the best way possible .
