“ There are no obstacles only stepping stones . The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping stones . Laugh at them , tread on them , and let them lead you to something better ” says Enid Blyton .
Obstacles are inevitable in life . However , when you start thinking positively , you create a cycle of positive thinking which lets you start looking at your obstacles from a different angle and use them as stepping stones . Obstacles are there to help us find our better selves because you understand that your desire and confidence to overcome them have to be greater than your fear of failure . If you are able to decide to take action , the obstacles on your way will turn into stepping stones .
Edison had to learn this when he was inventing the light bulb , it took him about 10 000 experiments to get it right .
We can use the challenges in our advantage . We need to create something that is our art to pave the way for amazing events to happen in our lives . Let ’ s make our best and never give up ! Every day is another opportunity to try over and over again and succeed !
The biggest obstacle to act is a mind that cannot decide . Action is the beginning of success . When you fall , you build the courage to rise back up . This is a challenge which is a stepping stone to success . Sometimes things can go wrong . However , these challenges force people to think of solutions . With optimism , patience and determination , they take the necessary steps to overcome the challenges . If you are determined to advance in the face of obstacles you take your reward . Thomas
