Obstacles
You can’t overcome an obstacle by pretending it doesn’t exist. You need to
see them, acknowledge them, and work to overcome them. This section is where you
declare your obstacles loudly, clearly. What are they? You’ll use your planning
in the next section to overcome them, so don’t worry about that now. If
something is not an obstacle, simply write "none" beside that item. It’s just as
important to know what’s working for you as what’s not working for your.
Remember, obstacles simply make your personal story more interesting. Everyone
loves a tale about someone who makes it despite the obstacles. Be thankful for
your obstacles because they can be used as fuel to keep you going. "I’m going to
make it despite" whatever may be keeping you down. This isn’t a grudge list,
something to spit at. This is a list of hurdles you’re going to jump. You don’t
place a lot of emphasis on a hurdle. Hurdles aren’t important. They’re something
you don’t pay much attention to. They’re things that make you jump a little
higher than you might otherwise. Jump it and leave it in the dust.
