Do you dread dealing with any type of money obstacle? Most of us do. We want life to be easy, but it seems that money obstacles continuously thwart our efforts and limit the quality of our lives. The good news is that money obstacles don’t have to be the vile thing you think they are.
Obstacles can actually be a blessing! Obstacles are often the path to great success and achievement. The obstacle isn’t really a roadblock. It’s an opportunity.
If there’s one characteristic found in all successful people, it’s the ability to persevere and overcome obstacles. Those that struggle with life invariably give up far too quickly.
[ctt template=”12″ link=”3aybO” via=”yes” ]Overcoming money obstacles requires three things: [/ctt]
- It begins with the ability to perceive the situation accurately. This requires having a true understanding of how the money works. It’s important to be free of emotional distress and to maintain your composure. Excess emotion clouds perception and can inhibit your ability to take action.
- Act intelligently. With accurate perception, you have the ability to take appropriate action. All of us take actions every day. Even lying on the couch and watching television is a course of action. However, few of us take intelligent action. Intelligent action consists of actions that are most likely to lead to success.
- Accept and persevere. Creating opportunities from money obstacles requires will. When placed in a situation with money obstacles and little hope, do you continue or do you give up? The ability to accept the situation makes intelligent action easier. Lacking acceptance, you’ll face too much emotional struggle to perceive accurately or to act intelligently.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”– Lao Tzu
Accurate Perception
Perception is how we view and comprehend the events occurring around us. It also consists of the interpretation of what those events mean. Your money perception or money beliefs can be a strength or a weakness. When you’re overly emotional and subjective, you create further challenges.
All of our thoughts are clouded by inaccurate perceptions of past experiences, false beliefs, negative associations with money, and fear. Filtering out these mental obstacles requires skill. However, with practice, it’s possible to keep your emotions under control. With a clear mind, only the truth remains. When you see the truth about money, you’re starting from the perfect place.
Accuracy and delusional thinking are the opposite of each other. An accurate assessment of the situation and the ability to see the possibilities are the key.
“Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!” – Bob Marley
