- Nullify your “hostage” or “victim” mindset.
- The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
- Reframe obstacles into opportunities.
- Obstacles inspire the desire to solve dilemmas. Obstacles are a miraculous opportunity for innovation and charge.
- Break down the obstacles into smaller achievable chunks.
- Obstacles are like mountains not likely to move themselves. You must take action to overcome it, not sit at the foot of the mountain hoping it will suddenly vanish.
- Learn from the obstacles but keep the focus on your big goal.
- Learning is what differentiates leaders. Obstacles provide situations for us to learn.
- Coelho states that before you can reach your dream, you will be tested by the very same universe. Obstacles are part and parcel of life. We need to embrace it as an opportunity to learn.
