Obstacle Quotes

Quotes About Obstacles 

  • All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming. --Helen Keller
  • Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle. --Christian D. Larson
  • But the cure for most obstacles is, Be decisive. --George Weinberg
  • Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. --John Wooden
  • I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed. --Booker T. Washington
  • If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere. --Frank A. Clark
  • Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats. Yet each struggle, each defeat, sharpens your skills and strengths, your courage and your endurance, your ability and your confidence and thus each obstacle is a comrade-in-arms forcing you to become better... or quit. Each rebuff is an opportunity to move forward; turn away from them, avoid them, and you throw away your future. --Og Mandino
  • Obstacles cannot bend me. Every obstacle yields to effort. --Leonardo da Vinci
  • Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind. --Leonardo da Vinci
  • When I say ' thug' I mean not a criminal, someone who beats you over the head, I mean the underdog. You could have two people- one person has everything he needs to succeed and one person has nothing. If the person who has nothing succeeds, he's a thug. Cuz he overcame all the obstacles. --Tupac Shakur

It’s Not the Size of Your Problem; It’s the Momentum You Come at it With | MWM
Managers Solve Problems, Leaders Create Momentum = The fourth principle of problem solving is to create momentum. Momentum can solve most problems. It builds energy and exaggerates things in a positive way that can carry you through a problem. It isn’t the size of your problem that is the issue, but the level of your momentum. The more you increase momentum, the more you can solve problems. 
#Momentum #Obstacles #Problems #Solutions

Desire
Desire is everything—it can literally overcome any circumstance, obstacle or hindrance in your way. People with desire—with passion—have already succeeded before they even begin—because they never considered that their dream, no matter its magnitude, cannot be accomplished.

Patience Quotes

Quotes About Patience 

  • Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. --RALPH EMERSON
  • Be patient. Do the best with what you know. When you know more, adjust the trajectory. --Jen Hatmaker
  • How poor are they that have not patience. What wound did ever heal but by degrees? --William Shakespeare
  • If you rush it, you will ruin it. Pause, pray, and be patient.
  • Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success. --BRIAN ADAMS
  • Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. --John Quincy Adams, American President (1767-1848)
  • Patience is also a form of action. -- Auguste Rodin (French artist Auguste Rodin understood well the inherent virtue of patience. He is known for his expressive sculptures — most famously “The Thinker,” completed in 1904. Rodin spent long hours carefully crafting his creations from bronze and marble. His masterpieces, as well as his quote here, remind us that slowing down and taking time for contemplation are also crucial parts of moving forward.
  • Patience is being friends with Time.  --Vanna Bonta
  • Patience is passion tamed. --Lyman Abbott, American Author (1835-1922)
  • Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.  --Napoleon Hill
  • Some of your greatest blessings come with patience. --Warren W. Wiersbe
  • Two things define you: your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. --George Bernard Shaw
  • Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. --Margaret Atwood
  • We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world. --Helen Keller
  • Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson. --Elon Musk







Patience may be a virtue, but it's a difficult one to cultivate — especially in a world that is moving ever-faster. Yet with this quote, Enlightenment-era philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau reminds us that patience also comes with great rewards. Such rewards are never instant, but can increase over time, like an investment that must be allowed to mature. Research suggests that people who cultivate patience experience better mental and even physical health, and have happier relationships with others over the course of their lives.

Praise in Public, Admonish in Private
https://youtu.be/rp9rIvVsLbg
Praise In Public = Patience is not being patient with poor performance, it is being patient with how we handle poor performance. Leaders need to hold people accountable and have difficult conversations, but it is important to give praise in public, and admonish in private. How can you become a more loving servant leader? Be more patient!

The Power of Connection | MWM
Leading With Connection = People don’t know how much you know until they know how much you care. Good communication starts with connection, not content. People buy into the message long before they buy into the communication. If they don’t feel you, they won’t follow you. The heart comes before the head in communication—connection opens the door that content can then walk through.




Speak to Be Heard — Connect to Be Remembered | MWM
Everyone talks, but not everyone connects. The ability to connect gives you a tremendous inside and upside to influencing people. Communication is the key to influencing people and being remembered. 



Connection Opens the Door | MWM
Share Information With Others = People often don't feel included or part of a team until you share information with them. They are often down on what they are not up on. They are negative about things they don't know or understand because they haven't had the time to think about it. It is important to have an understanding with others that you will share and connect so that there isn't a misunderstanding.




MWM | Connection
Connection is More Important Now Than It Has Ever Been = In the world of leadership in today's landscape, connection is more important than it has ever been. The difference between feeling remote and feeling isolated, is connection. And the answer is not to be remote and isolated, the answer is to be remote and connected. So, who on your team do you feel connected to?





Why Leaders Must Pursue Connection Over Correction | MWM
Before You Correct, You Must Connect = Before you correct, you must connect. Connection creates a foundation of trust making even the most tough conversations more constructive. When you take the time to connect first you make people feel seen and valued. Correction without connection often leads to resistance from your team members, so it is important to connect with others first.


Are You Open to Learning from Others? | MWM
Be Open To Learning From Others = Connect with like-minded people. Doing this can accelerate your personal and professional growth, providing support, inspiration, and opportunities for collaboration. Leaders must actively seek and nurture these relationships and should also ask this question: “Who do you know that I should know?”


If You Stop Loving Your People, Stop Leading Them | MWM
Lead With Heart = In his book, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, John Maxwell discusses the Law of Connection, which says that leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand. It isn’t just what you know that makes a great leader, but how much you care. Good leaders desire to make a positive difference in peoples’ lives. 


Get to Know Someone Just Because
Walk Slowly Through The Crowd = Relational leaders love connecting with others. It is important to slow down and connect with people even when it isn’t required or beneficial to your success. Find someone that you don’t have to connect with in order to be successful in your job, and take time to get to know them. When you do this, you begin to develop your muscle of connection and become better at connecting with the people you have been called to lead.

Do You Add Value or Take it Away? | MWM
Connect With Others = Relationships—how we connect with others—are key in our success. Relationships have the power to resolve the negatives in our lives. Are you a plus or a minus? Do you add value to others or take value away? If you want to do well with people, add value to them. That is what relationships are all about. 

5 Pillars of Success and 1 Thing That Connects Them | MWM




Caring for Others Paves the Way for Connection
Caring Leads To Connection = Everyone has something to say but few listen and truly connect. The key to connecting to people is caring for others. People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. Allow caring for others to pave the way for your connection to the people around you. 


Less Direction and More Connection
Are the people around you silent? It may very well be because you are not listening to what they have to say. When you are listening, you are the silent one—you are asking questions, but then you are quiet awaiting an answer. And it is then that you will discover how much those around you have to say, to contribute. You just need to hear them out!


How to Connect with Anyone, At Any Time
It’s All About Others = Communicators know it is all about others. Connection comes with the realization that it is about others, and not yourself. Do you need to get over yourself?



What Do You Need to Say That Can Only Be Said One-on-One?
Lead Well And Connect With Others One-On-One = Spending time with someone in a one-on-one environment allows for deep meaningful connection where you can resolve or address important issues.  When an issue is addressed in a group environment it can lead to a disconnect from the individual you want to impact. Connection, most often, is best accomplished one-on-one, whether it is to correct someone or praise someone.



Get Over Yourself = Communicators know that it is all about others. The two ways to connect with others are … One, find common ground and … Two, get over yourself. Implementing these two things will change and lift your communication with your audience.



Are You a Climber or a Connector
Self-aware leaders prioritize their team's well-being over their personal career advancement. These leaders are advocates for the individuals on their team, focusing on collaboration rather than extracting benefits from their team members.



Question and Connect = Talking without connecting is a waste of words. Asking questions is key! It is a leader’s responsibility to meet their people where they’re at, ask the right questions and truly listen to the answers. Only then can you really start connecting with your people; and only then will your words truly matter.





Connectors Connect on Common Ground
https://youtu.be/dMqKoAa1m3Q
Chris Goede and Perry Holley explore the concept of finding common ground to connect with others. They discuss the barriers that prevent leaders from effectively connecting, like assumptions, arrogance, and indifference, and provide strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Chris Goede and Perry Holley share personal stories that illustrate the power of genuine curiosity and the importance of focusing on the other person in a conversation. The hosts also remind listeners that building authentic connections requires time, intentionality, and a willingness to be open and adaptable. Learn practical tips for finding common ground and strengthening your ability to connect with and influence others.

Do you have faith in the future? Take a look at your journey, are you currently stuck in your "comfort zone" or are you living in the "faith zone?" Do yourself a favor, join the faith zone! As John says, things can happen that would have never happened if you didn't change the zone you were living in.

Be God-Centered = You can parent with purpose by teaching your children faith. Show your children how to have a good relationship with God and to know and communicate with Him. As parents we have to be an example of this. Share with your children what God is doing in your life and how he leads you. Be God centered so that your children can see that every good and perfect gift comes from God.

James 2:14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?
Galatians 3:9 So all who put their faith in Christ share the same blessing Abraham received because of his faith.
Hebrews 11:3 (MSG) By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word, what we see created by what we don’t see.
Matthew 17:20 (MSG) “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn’t be able to tackle.”
James 2:18 (MSG) I can already hear one of you agreeing by saying, “Sounds good. You take care of the faith department, I’ll handle the works department.” Not so fast. You can no more show me your works apart from your faith than I can show you my faith apart from my works. Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hand in glove.
Luke 17:6 (MSG) But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it.
2 Corinthians 1:24 (MSG) We’re not in charge of how you live out the faith, looking over your shoulders, suspiciously critical. We’re partners, working alongside you, joyfully expectant. I know that you stand by your own faith, not by ours.
Luke 17:5 (MSG) The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”
Galatians 3:12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”
Hebrews 11:1-2 NLT Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.
Hebrews 11:6 ESV And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11 Faith in Action Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. ...
