Defeating Challenges
Sarper Sayın
Throughout our lives , we are faced with a great many obstacles , some of which seem insurmountable and some comparatively easier to overcome . They could be physical or mental . However , the important thing is not the obstacle itself , but rather it is the way we deal with it .

Most people believe that the problems and obstacles they encounter during the course of their lives are a burden on their shoulders . In fact , they teach us invaluable lessons if we can cope with them in an effective manner . By adopting a positive attitude and being willing to do the best we can , we can make sure that no problem is too big to overcome . Having this in mind , we can solve our problems in a few simple steps .
First of all , what we need to do is to identify the nature of that particular obstacle and then we can set out to devise a plan to overcome it . Sometimes we may need to ask for help from others . Especially those who have gone through the same problems before can be of great help . Don ’ t let this lose your motivation as it is okay not to be able to do everything on your own . It is also okay to fail at times . What counts is that you should always keep going rather than getting discouraged .
Always remember that once you have overcome the obstacle you are dealing with , it will give you a sense of accomplishment and you will get stronger with each challenge you have managed to conquer .
