OBSTACLES
And why it's rewarding to overcome them...

****************************

We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve. -Maxwell Maltz

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse. -Helen Keller (1880-1968)

Every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust. -Zig Ziglar

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture solves each problem as they come to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They kept going regardless of the obstacles they met. -W. Clement Stone (1902-2002)

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. -Jean Baptiste Moliere (1622-1673)

When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time. -Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924)

What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity. -Sidlow J. Baxter

You are the only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life. -Les Brown

When you are in the valley, keep your goal firmly in view and you will get the renewed energy to continue the climb. -Denis Waitley

It is not ease but effort, not facility but difficult, that makes man. There is perhaps no station in life in which difficulties do not have to be encountered and overcome before any decided means of success can be achieved. -Samuel Smiles (1812-1904)
