Overcoming Obstacles In Everyday Life

There are two kinds of people: the ones that are willing to give up after seeing the first obstacle in their way and the ones that are willing to turn the same obstacle in their favor. Any problem, may it be an obstacle or a disadvantage, can always be turned into something good if you believe you can do it. All you have to do in order to accomplish this is to see with another perspective all the good there is in any problem, no matter how hard or impossible it seems to be.

trying to change or overcome obstacles can be damaging. Life is full of struggles, but it

Obstacles are unavoidable parts of our lives. Obstacles constantly come in the way and slow us down. However, these obstacles should not be viewed as being harmful. They are essential factors in order for one to succeed. They can change the course of one’s life, and encourage one to work harder. Therefore, obstacles can be beneficial.

Everyone has different aspects of life that come with multiple obstacles. As many think they aren’t able to overcome and moving fourth, believing they will fall apart and behind everyone else. Most of mankind has experience some type of obstacles and we all have a wide arrangement on how to cope and overcome. The truth is, we only see challenges and obstacles when we take our eyes off the goal. Every goal has a challenges but once we overcome the world becomes bigger.

In life we may go through hardships that take us down a path that benefits us in the future and make us stronger individuals. These hardships can influence a person’s life by making us face obstacles we don’t want to face and

Obstacles. Everyone has been forced to overcome them at some point in their life. These obstacles have shaped everyone and helped them become the person they are today. Challenges are a part of life and everyone will face them at some point in their life, but it is how people handle it that determines their future. This idea can be seen in many pieces of text including the following poems. “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley and “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” by Tupac both convey the idea that obstacles are important in everyone’s life and help shape everyone as a person on the way to their dream.

Everyone has trials and tribulations in life, and we all face different ones. One story that really spoke to me is the one where the man who moves the rock from the middle of the road finds the bag of gold. The problems in life aren’t going away, so trying to avoid the pitfalls in life is just going to cause more issues. It is important to solve the trials we are faced with instead of running away.

Ease does not challenge people and adversity is needed to help people discover who they are. In other words, misfortunes, obstacles and difficulties are needed to aid us in finding ourselves and who we are.

Many people have different ways to accomplish their goals which depends on their experiences and struggles in life. They can use these experiences and struggles and turn them into wisdom, and they become determined to accomplish these goals no matter what obstacles stand in their way. For example, Ernesto was determined to learn how to be an American, but to never forget that he was truly a Mexican. The “Apollo 13” crew was determined to fix a problem in their spaceship by using their knowledge. In both situations, confidence and determination was needed to face challenges, but with teamwork, they acheived success on these missions.

“Well, these sad and hopeless obstacles are welcome in one sense, for they enable us to look with indifference upon the cruel satires that Fate loves to indulge in” (Thomas Hardy). The definition of an obstacle is a thing, mental or physical, that blocks one's way or prevents or hinders progress. A common theme in literature is having to do with overcoming obstacles and ways to solve problems despite them. The mockingbird from Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, Harrison Bergeron from Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s “Harrison Bergeron,” and the situations from Rudyard Kipling’s “If” each function as a symbol to reveal that you will have to overcome obstacles no matter what.

Life in general is full of facing challenges. As the saying goes, “”What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” So then why do we all, when faced with an unpleasant situation, try to find the easy way out and not tackle down the obstacles and all the suffering? People stop trying because they believe that their hardship will never end so they put up with it and suffer more than they have to. However they don’t understand that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel and that you might be struggling now but it will always be brighter and greater on the other side, you just need to find your way to it. Our society is always changing. Different generations of people include having different kinds of life’s, which means that these challenges

First,in ways, people overcome obstacles is keeping a positive attitude since when you have a positive attitude you are harder to discourage.An example of positive attitude while facing adversity would be in the text “A work in progress” where Aimee Mullin faces her adversity with humor like when she broke her wooden leg and while all the other people in that room were freaking out all she could think about was that her parents were going to kill her.I chose this example because out of all the stories we read in class about facing adversity Aimee Mullin struck me as the most positive about her obstacle.It’s important because it shows my point that with a positive attitude you don’t get discouraged as easily and like Aimee Mullin you can achieve whatever you wish no matter your adversity.Another example from “A work in progress” that shows positive attitude would be when Aimee Mullin got her new legs and was stating all the good qualities about her legs instead of being like oh I don’t this about them or

When people are struck with hardships in life, the way they react reveals their true character. Having a certain mindset can greatly influence how they handle problems, differentiating one person from another. Many can feel discouraged and feel like giving up when they hit a rough patch. In other cases, the will to be in a position better than where they are at the moment gives them the motivation to succeed. Adversity can have a positive effect on the development of an individual's character, providing them with the drive to overcome their current situation.

Everyone experiences adversity. Challenges that everyday people experience can potentially shape, improve, or destroy one's sense of self and personality. Through all these hardships and seemingly impenetrable obstacles, the most pertinent component of one's ability to overcome can only be shown in actions taken despite the odds. People have one of two options; to let those obstacles overwhelm them and keep them from pursuing all that they were destined to accomplish, or to march forward, fight harder and push past the seemingly impossible circumstances to become greater than they ever expected to be, but until they take the step that enables them to be successful -- they are stranded. All of our actions, mistakes, successes, and behaviors shape our person and what we can or cannot become, but what will always matter is our individual decisions and actions not those of the people around us because at the end of the day, we are the ones who have to deal with ourselves.

In life, we all go through challenges and it’s either we face them or walk away from it. Growing up, people will always have different ways of handling things that happens in their life. We can’t know what could happen and how we handle it because life is unexpected. As I see it is that if you tend to keep making the same mistakes, you’ll never get passed your past and if you learn from all of your mistakes, you can move forward with your life. Everyone has faced their challenges in their own way and not everything in life will be easy because I can tell you right now that no one’s life is perfect. Everyone has their flaws, but they're perfect in their own way possible.
