There are many obstacles that you may face when attempting to reach a goal. Obstacles can consist of family problems, money problems, or just simple personal problems. One way to overcome those obstacles is to stay resilient and not give up. Being resilient will give you the attitude that will enable you to examine, enhance, and utilize the strengths, characteristics and other resources that are available to you (Harrington, 2012). I have learned that it easier to use the resources around me to help overcome an obstacle, rather
than facing it head on or by myself. Utilizing my strengths has helped me overcome many obstacles.
I am a very family oriented person. Being able to depend on family during a down time or while overcoming an obstacle can be very beneficial. We need others to survive, and our methods of interacting will affect the degree to which we obtain our needs (Harrington, 2012).
Maintaining a positive attitude and keeping your ultimate goal will lead you through all obstacles that will come your way.
