In today's episode, hosts Deb Turton and Guy Daigneault discuss obstacles and how the challenges we face in life are opportunities for us to learn and improve. Find out why positivity is crucial to overcoming obstacles and why things always feel harder before we’ve faced them and not so bad when you look in the rear view mirror.

• Obstacles will arise, but the question is how you respond to them.
• There are five major obstacles that most of us face on a daily basis: time, money, skill, routine, and effort.
• All of those things will hold us back from achieving what we want in life. They may seem simple, but they can sometimes feel insurmountable.
• People usually spend 80% to 90% of their time talking about the problem instead of working on the solution.
• We all face and overcome obstacles in our lives, and they always appear more formidable going in than they do when we look back. People are very resilient, and we will always find a solution to the obstacles we face.
• If we can consistently knock down obstacles, get through our challenges, and find solutions, we are going to get the results that we want. They may not be the results you want right at the beginning, but it’s a start.
• Open up to the possibility of one day having enough. Think in terms of “not yet” instead of absolutes.
• Results will bring you clarity, positivity, and momentum.
• Solutions can take many forms. They can be strategies, processes, or steps, but as long as you stay positive, you will discover your own solutions.
• If you make the effort, your brain will always come up with the solution. You may get stuck, but if you add the word “yet” to your vocabulary, you are guaranteed to succeed.
