Overcoming Obstacles
Utku TAŞKIRAN

Sometimes in life , we encounter obstacles at unexpected moments that we think we cannot overcome . People often give the same reaction when faced with an obstacle . Giving up ... The act of giving up is in human nature . One feels powerless and inadequate when facing obstacles .
When a person becomes aware of his abilities , his attitude begins to change . He learns to look at life with the glass half full . He focuses on the positives rather than the negatives . In other words , as a person develops both mentally and physically , the obstacles become manageable for him .
A person who does not recognize obstacles and has high awareness is more advantageous than other people . He starts life one step ahead . Just think about it , you set your mind to do something , and another person dreams of achieving the same goal . That person thinks it ’ s hard to make it come true and convinces himself that he can ’ t do it before he even starts . People can be an obstacle in front of other people , but the real obstacle for a person to do something is that person himself .
When a person overcomes his obstacles and gets rid of his bad feelings , he has the potential to do anything he wants . It is enough to believe that one can achieve something .
