Obstacles are conditions to success

Success is defined as “an event that accomplishes its intended purpose”. Especially when you set your mind and soul to it. This a beautiful short story which I heard from John C. Maxwell and had to share it with you, life explorers.

An eagle’s only obstacle to overcome for flying with greater speed and ease is the air. Yet, if the air were withdrawn and the proud bird were to fly in a vacuum, it would fall instantly to the ground, unable to fly at all. The very element that offers resistance to flying is at the same time the condition for flight.

The same law, that obstacles are conditions to success!
A life free of all obstacles and difficulties would reduce all possibilities and powers to zero.

Dolly Parton sums it all up with these words “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain.”

Approach every obstacle in life with this simple view “obstacles are conditions to success.” and I guarantee you that you will live a happier, successful and fulfilling life.
