Climb Every Obstacle is arranged so you can read an obstacle a day or select your most challenging obstacles for your inspiration.

It is written in a clear, straight-forward, and encouraging tone to promote a consciousness of vitality and success. 




The right hand page is a passageway. It may have an inspiring story about someone who has overcome that particular fear-evoking obstacle or the page may contain a quote, a poem, a proverb or scripture reading for you to affirm your inner strength.


The left hand page is about the obstacle. It opens with a quote and is a direct message to you. At the end of the page is an opportunity step that requires you to take action.


Within two pages you can examine the obstacle, focus on possibilities for you, and then exercise the opportunity step.


Obstacles are a part of everyone’s life DNA. You are not alone in this trek to overcoming them in order to magnify your potential. Be better today because of your yesterday.

 
 

Each week, we will highlight a different obstacle. Return to this page to learn stronger coping strategies and how to use the obstacle to step into a new world of opportunity.


Obstacle Week 1: ANGER


“Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.” —Robert G. Ingersoll


ANGER averts achievement. It is a wasted, perpetual emotion. Until you release inappropriate anger, progress is thwarted. However anger is appropriate in response to an injustice that needs to be righted. The achievement key is to release anger once the situation or person has been confronted.


Examine your anger. Ask:
1. Who is my request of?
2. Has my request been spoken?
3. Is my request reasonable?

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

Opportunity step:
Use peaceful words/actions today.


Inspirational Quote of the Week: 
Happiness

Father Alfred D. Souza:

“For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that this was my life.”
