Know Your Limits

There is a difference between obstacles and limits. Obstacles can be overcome, whereas limits cannot. For example, a blind person cannot drive a car. Real limits are few - obstacles are many. Knowing your limits will keep you from striving for the unachievable and ending up disappointed. Once you understand your limits, everything outside of them becomes a possibility.

Have a Plan

A good plan is the secret weapon for combating mental obstacles. When you have a plan and are determined to stick to it, it doesn’t matter what you are feeling at a given time because you can simply ‘proceed as planned’. Conversely, if you are plagued with negative thoughts and a lack direction, it’s easy to become complacent.

Visualize Your Goals

Once you’ve spent so much time thinking about a goal that you can see it, touch it, taste it, and smell it with your mind’s eye, you won’t easily give up on it. The desire to achieve it will give you the fortitude to overcome even the most daunting of obstacles. Before you ever become successful, you should already be successful in your mind. Doing this will convince you to push through any temporary pain you might experience on your way to achieving your dream.

Ignore the Doubts of Others

At 21, while interviewing for an $8.00 per hour position, I told the interviewer I expected to be earning six figures within fie years and be semi-retired by 35. “That’s a little farfetched,” he said with a chuckle. It may have seemed farfetched to him, but where he saw obstacles, I saw opportunity. I knew the obstacles were there. I simply chose to ignore them

Embrace Positivity

Stay away from people, places, and things that bring you down. Immerse yourself in as many upbuilding activities as possible. Choose positive reading material and positive friends. Listen to the prodding of fellow optimists and ignore the criticism of pessimists.

Understand Fear

Fear creates imaginary obstacles. Fear can prevent us from introducing ourselves to people (fear of rejection), starting profitable business ventures (fear of failure), and experiencing wonderful things (fear of the unknown). The key to overcoming such fears is to:

1. 
   
   1. Recognize them in yourself.
   2. Identify their root.
   3. Make a plan to deal with them.

The next time you have an idea you are hesitant to pursue, ask yourself if fear might be the only thing holding you back.

Success and failure exist in the power of the mind. Take control of your thoughts and you will take control of your success."
