One strange but natural aspect of the human predisposition we can remark all over the world is a feature used to generally discourage other people. All of us at one point in our lives have experienced naysaying attitudes from people around us. Therefore, what can we do with this kind of behavior?

Is it a universal instinct of competition, a misguidance in our genes, or an ancient approach to pain? I really do not know.

When our relatives, friends or someone else tell us we cannot or should not do something, and their thinking shows that they have doubts in your skills or incentive, don’t give in. If you read about or ask successful people how they got to be successful, each one would talk about a challenge of some sort; something they faced and how they perceived every obstacle as an opportunity.

Even if we don’t see it at times, here are 10 cool ways to understand how every obstacle is a possible opportunity to improve our condition.

1. Seize the Silver Lining in Every Cloud Every cloud you initially perceive as undesirable holds an encouraging silver lining. When recognized, you can act upon it. Having an awful job is a chance to learn while you look and find something better. Getting out of a bad relationship is an opportunity to work on yourself while you heal, etc. So see the silver lining in each cloud by going through it.

2. Change Your Approach How we travel toward an obstacle shows how scary it will be to get over it. To be able to see thing as they are, and not just perceive them as the way you think them to be, you need to learn to control your thoughts. Thus, edit your life often so that the right approach ensue the right standpoint.

3. Turn an Obstacle into an Opportunity An obstacle can have a range of opportunities. At times, the only way to surmount an obstacle is by losing some ground and allowing it to come to you instead of going head on. A fortress can look unapproachable and impossible to get in, yet it can also be converted into a place with no exit when besieged. It comes to a simple shift in your mindset and actions. So find a smart way to crush them.

4. Create Momentum by Moving If you confront difficulties with a lot of energy and creativity, you frequently win. Audacity is really just taking a step forward. Step up, create momentum and you are on your way. Obstacles are those frightening things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

5. Think on How to make it Better Occasionally, when you cannot make another move in a difficult situation, one of the great ways to generate options for a new path or avenue is to stop and letting go for a while. You will be surprised by what your mind would come up with to reach a solution.

6. Follow the Process In this world of much confusion, a methodic path often offers us a way. When an obstacle comes, inhale deeply, see and act on what is possible, then follow its natural course onto the next step. Following the process is about achieving little strides, here and now. Do not worry about what could be or even the outcomes.

7. Accept Failure as a New Option Failure is not wrong. Each failure brings you some new options and every obstacle can be overturned into an opportunity. A failure generates different arrays of possibilities to get things done. Even if uncomfortable, a failure gets you to think of a way out by being a cause for solutions.

8. Shift Tragedy into Possibility Average people complain or avoid any bad circumstances while successful people do the exact opposite. In your life, you are confronted with burdens, but you must know that it brings a chance for an answer that you may have waited for. In such times comes the moment to shift tragedy into possibility, because it is often when you least expect it that you can succeed.

9. Find a Way around Most battles have been often won by a side attack or by finding a way around; a tiny percent chose the direct approach to overcome an opponent. Don’t ever believe to have a disadvantage. Force yourself to find a way around, instead of jumping straight into battle. Sometime, the way around is the best way to win.

10. Think and Be Progress Do not think about changing the world right now, but do not forget to be ambitious enough to get what you want out of life. Think and be progress, and not perfection. Do not spend too much time thinking about how things are supposed to be.

While in pursuit of your own goals, if you feel discouraged, don’t procrastinate and complain that the obstacle in your path won’t move. Try again and again, because if you don’t, you will remain in the exact same place. Pursue your desires.

All successful people begin by a “Let’s go”.

It is not because the circumstances are not exactly what you want, or that the time is not right yet, that you will move magically forward. If you wish for momentum, you need to create it, by taking every obstacle as an opportunity to improve your condition.
