Overcome obstacles

Do you ever meet obstacles in your life? I for sure do. When I say “obstacle” I mean resistance, something I don’t want to do now, and procrastinate.

For me they have one of two characteristics: Either they are very boring to do, or they are outside my comfort zone.

The boring ones need focus and persistence, not giving up until the task is done. The ones outside my comfort zone are a little bit trickier. I need courage, and it’s not always there. I need to understand why I have to do this task. I have to know how it fits in to my bigger picture. How it will help me getting where I want. Otherwise my courage stay hidden and I will continue to procrastinate.

And the bigger picture has to be mine. Otherwise I will never overcome my “comfort zone obstacles”.

Listen to your internal voice and know when it’s worth putting in the extra effort to overcome your “comfort zone obstacles”.
