Overcoming the obstacles that could stand in our way
One of histories most effective statements for overcoming the obstacles of life. What stands in the way, is the way.
Set backs will come, but what impedes us, can also empower us.
How we can become resilient, adapt and change so we can overcome adversity. But then ask ourself, how we are as we being as we are moving through adversity also play a role in who we become, ultimately to triumph over our obstacles.
Did we break down and strike out with blame and resentment of did we take the higher path with a response that is worthy to humanity.
The facts are is that challenge makes us better, we learn through adverse situations and find the benefits that arise out of the difficult.
Neuroscience teaches us, that the more we struggle, solutions remain hidden. When we step away from struggle and change our attitude, our natural ability to solve problems rises like cream, to the top.
What is the secret to problem solving? What are we missing? For each of us, the solution may be different, but for each of us there will personality attritbutes that solve the puzzle.
Ryan goes onto site the wisest in history and how all had one thing in common. Agreeing that challenge can either destroy us or it can improve us. What the wisest choice over defeat, strife and oppression, they chose to transform themselves by inding and advantage or benefit in the obstacle they encounter.
Fortune from mis-fortune, willing oneself to creative and have the belief in oneself to benefit.
So I would like you to recall an obstacle that you may have found discouraging. And I encourage you to just take a few minutes to think about this obstacle in detail.
What exactly challenged you? In what way were you challenged?And then within the challenge where exactly did you feel the most stuck? Deep inside your mind, you can rise up above the challenge and look at it from a birds eye view. Possibly rise up as nigh as the highest mountain and check it out again.
Shift your perception and consider it from a different angle. The angle of completion. The angle that the obstacle is in the past now. From hind sight, what tools did you use to overcome. Walk backward in time, revealing all the amazing skills that you employed to bridge the gap between what was in the way and what is no longer.
By rewinding the journey to success and all the accomplishments we have already achieved in our future, we can percieve that the challenge of yesterday is far less that the challenges we know we are capable of.
Or initiate a new tune. Think back to your rgeatest accomplishments. Drop into that life event and experience the glory of your success again. Dial into your energy. What was the mindset, heart rate, respiration and attitude? Within your psyche, what dialogue are you resonating with? This is you in your greatness, capable and creative, positive and confident.
Now jump over to the challenge, talking all your power with you, and catch a glimpse of this itty bitty bump in the road.
And what is happening now? In this movie inside your head, where you can be anyone you choce to be, draw on your deepest resources or call up your greatest mentor. As you pull some strings inside your mind, watch the solutions begin to sound off within your vision.
Know how you respond, was there a turning away or was there the striving to overcome the challenge. Ask yourself, from the safety of your couch, to just pretend that you just kicked the winning goal
Whatever it is that challenges us, we have a choice to fall into self doubt or to shift our perspective and rise above the chatter. Because the facts are, that problem come and go trhoughout life and problems also get solved. It all boils down to attitude, may it be bitter, sweet or stale.
I heard today a story about a family that spent three years in a refugee camp, and finding todays isolation a simple thing. For those who have faced adversity have grown strong. They learned to weather the storm, to rise above the floodwaters and to swim to calm shores.
We can chose learn from those who have come before who have endured and adopt a mindset that allows us to move beyond adversity.
But many find the inner obstacles their biggest challenge. Past generations lived through war, famine and it has only been recently that we face an unseen force of a pandemic. So three generations have lived in relative stablily. The result may be that we many of us have never felt deep adversity, so we may not have the life skills and resources embedded in our mind.
And yet they are. Our minds do not recognize the difference between reality and fantasy. Evrything we have experiened, even from the comfort of our couch, can be considered an experience. How we access that information may be another matter.
But through my own experience of survival. Uncovering and accessing the information I needed to escape a plane that had crashed and overturned in water, gave me insight into the resesses of the mind.
But it wasn't until I studied and ultimately became and NLP Trainer that I truly understood and was able to access that power every single day. And yet we all have this ability.
Imagine if you had never driven a standard car. It may look daunting and when you started to learn, you may have felt discouraged. But soon, there were less stall and the drive became smoother. Learning to drive your mind is somewhat like learning to drive a standard car. If you want to learn faster then a teacher is helpful.

#myfreedomdomday #whatdoesfreedommeantoyou #mindyourfreedom Adele's bio: I strive to live the best life possible. I am a survivor of a plane that crashed and flipped in water. That experience of drowning and how I made my escape forever change my belief in what is possible. I became obsessed with neuroscience. Wanting to understand the power of the mind. If my mind could source information locked deep within my mind, while starved of oxygen. I wanted to know how to access and use that same mind power everyday. My experience became the driving force of my life purpose. The stuff I now know to be true
I consciously live my values. Being clear about what I do and don't want. Making value based choices to ensure I love the life I wake-up to every day
I thrive on learning, growing and expanding my awareness so I can embrace all that life has to offer. This deep desire of learning enabled a degree in natural medicine, coaching certificate and Trainers certification in N.L.P. and more.
