Before Deciding To Overcome An Obstacle…

🎾 From a book called The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey…

It is said that all great things are achieved by great effort. Although I believe that is true, it is not necessarily true that all great effort leads to greatness. 

A very wise person once told me, “When it comes to overcoming obstacles, there are three kinds of people. The first kind sees most obstacles as insurmountable and walks away. The second kind sees an obstacle and says, I can overcome it, and starts to dig under, climb over, or blast through it. The third type of person, before deciding to overcome the obstacle, tries to find a viewpoint where what is on the other side of the obstacle can be seen. Then, only if the reward is worth the effort, does he attempt to overcome the obstacle.”

What obstacle are you trying to overcome?

Before putting too much into it, can you sneak a peek at what awaits you on the other side?
