DIFFICULT goals, by their very nature, require one to overcome substantial obstacles.
The path to success, which usually involves achieving difficult goals, has many obstacles.
A major psychological obstacle on the path to success is dealing with temporary failure. What you do when you fail temporarily has a big impact on whether or not you reach your goal.
As you journey on the path to success, remember these points:
The energy to persevere when faced with obstacles comes from having the right attitude.
Know yourself and understand that the way in which you interpret an event influences the way in which you see the event and, consequently, how you react to it.
Learn from your mistakes and experiences.
Attitude
How can you create the energy to persist when things are not going your way?
The energy to keep striving can be generated by having a positive attitude and a determination to reach the goal.
An attitude is simply a state of mind. A positive attitude is one that makes you feel optimistic about overcoming an obstacle.
On the other hand, a negative attitude makes you feel that you cannot or are unlikely to succeed in overcoming an obstacle.
You have a choice. Either you control your mind, or your mind will control you.
Your thoughts and feelings are shaped by many factors, especially your assumptions about the causes of things, as these assumptions influence your attitudes.
The mind is a meaning-making machine. You automatically give meaning to everything, and the meaning you give depends on the assumptions you make about the causes of an event.
Examine the factors — such as implicit theories and frames — which influence the assumptions you make about both yourself and the world.
Find out how these assumptions affect your attitudes and, consequently, the energy you have to persevere when faced with difficult obstacles.
