On the Positive Aspect of Obstacle and Goals
We find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.
Maxwell Maltz
Each thing we undertake, each project we set out to do has an end goal. It is these end goals that that we pursue, it is for these that we willingly confront obstacles, in order to come to a successful end. Something as simple as writing a letter may present obstacles – finding the time, how to express oneself, who to write to and what to write about. When all is done, we have a feeling of accomplishment, happiness and satisfaction. We have reached our end goal and we feel empowered.
Of course, the real goals can be much bigger and end in a feeling of greater satisfaction. Whether it painting a room for the first time, making homemade bread with success, or changing a flat time. All present obstacle, all have end goals, all yield satisfaction.
