By pointing out the things that are in the way of a goal, we can figure out ways to overcome them.
It’ s not about the path of least resistance; this is where the work comes into play.
We have goals because they are worthwhile, not because they’ re easy.
Jim Rohn has a great explanation about going through obstacles in life:
Step 3: Identify the Obstacles
Say you’ re in an empty football stadium. You have a ball and you tuck it under your arm and cross the goal line. Should you feel good about yourself? Did you just score a touchdown?
No, of course not. There was no resistance, no other team, no fans for either side cheering or booing you. All you did was walk with a ball on a field. Now, add in the game and the packed stadium of fans.
If you cross the goal line with the ball, you have scored a touchdown and you will be cheered and congratulated by your team and fans. This is because you’ ve actually accomplished something. You achieved a goal despite the obstacles against you. You did something that was worth it.
If you really want to achieve a goal, you’ re going to have obstacles against you.
There’ s no miracle weight loss pill here. If there was a magic weight loss pill, over 60 % of Americans wouldn’ t be overweight.
Life in general is tough … But at the end, reaching a goal is very much worth the effort you put in.
