Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities | "The Obstacle In Our Path"
Channel: Shelley Carney LiveStream Coach
Date: 2019-10-14

Storytelling Therapy and Life Coaching by Shelley Carney provides the viewer with a new experience in relaxation and meditation using our most basic human love of stories and a soothing, ASMR quality voice. Starting with quotes from the I Ching, Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Wayne Dyer, Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Covey, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Michaelangelo, Pablo Picasso, and others, these integrated stories bring life coaching concepts into full use and help us to create a more fulfilling and joyful experience.

"The Obstacle In Our Path" is a story that demonstrates the difference between only seeing an obstacle as a problem or in seeing it as an opportunity. 

Overcome Your Discouraging Obstacles

Managing our minds and overcoming all of our insecurities and obstacles that hold us back from being our best selves is our responsibility. If we quit or take the easy route instead, the contribution we could have made will never come to pass.

If you are discouraged, it's because you're believing something negative or disempowering about yourself, or about the process, and you need to understand what that is so you can overcome it.

The people who are the most successful, are the people who are the most willing to experience discouragement, vulnerability and fear. Those are the ones who will keep moving ahead. There's always a temptation to give up so we don't have to feel those emotions that we must feel when we're growing.

When you conquer obstacles, you become stronger and you become the person that you want to become. It's not just what you do, it's who you get to be in that process.
There Are No Hard Days
There's no such thing as a hard day until you add an opinion to it that says: “this was a hard day,” then we've created the hard day. The hard day isn't made by the day; the hard day is made by the thought about the day.
Using "I had a hard day" as an excuse, as a reason to not show up, not be your best self, not to process your emotion or be connected, will only create an obstacle for you. Don't wish your day was easier. Decide to be stronger.
The more challenges I must face, the better. Because that means I'm going to have to evolve into a person who can achieve a higher level of success.
How important it is for us to have the mindset of overcoming anything! Not because we're smart or talented, but because we have the tenacity, the desire and the willingness to overcome, no matter what. That is true success.
