Obstacles

“To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles” — T.F. Hodge.

I think this is a good quote. I especially agree when your outcome is in alignment and it’s big enough to keep you going. However, I say that as a goal-oriented person. I like a clear goal. Sometimes I make too many and have to let a couple go, but generally I’m one to reach the finish line. Not everyone is driven that way.

How are you driven?

What do you think about this quote? Do you think being focused on the outcome helps conquer frustration?

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.

  1. Don’t try to accomplish tasks so big that when you fail, you can’t see it as a learning opportunity. Try to finish a few smaller tasks first. Then you have a track record of success with yourself and others who share similar goals and beliefs.

    1. Oops thought I hit reply.

      That sounds like a wise way to do it. Thank you for sharing. I don’t think too much about my track record when I’m reaching toward my goals. I’m usually just focused on them. That’s why I appreciate reading your comment. Thanks.
