Success is Measured by Your Strength to Push Forward

Motivational Power Quote

Success is Measured by Your Strength to Push Forward

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the

opposition you have encountered, and the courage with

which you have maintained the straggles,

against overwhelming odds .”

Orison Swett Marden 1850 -1924, American Spiritual Athor

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Success is measured by your strength to push forwards

In a moment you can be faced with what appears to be an insurmountable obstacle . . . . one that looks  impossible to overcome.

Obstacles can create a barrier to your forward progress on your success journey . . . . or it can become a springboard to achieving your goals.

An obstacle can look scary at first glance . . . . because your too close to it.

Mentally step back from the obstacle and look at the big picture . . . .

First look for the opportunity in the obstacle . . . . By looking for the opportunity in the obstacle you are looking past the obstacle . . . . and looking for solutions to the condition.

Looking for solutions is a proactive activity and moves your forward in the direction of resolving the condition . . . . Focusing on the obstacle is reactive and focuses your time and energy on the obstacle and not the solution.

Within every overwhelming obstacle is the key to discovery and greatness. Success is measured by your strength to push forward against overwhelming odds . . . . and not in sitting in the safety of your comfort zone.
