My biggest obstacle in life, Learning how to breathe. Now before your mind gets cluttered with assumptions on how ironic that statement might sound I have to take you back. At a young age I wanted to believe I was living a fairy tale, that I was the superhero and no matter what I would always come out on top. I didn't know what it felt like to be beaten or bruised, I didn't know how to cope with all these thoughts running rampant races around my mind. I didn't know because I didn't want to know. Facing the hardships of reality was never my thing, Some might say I had a "glorified" vision of the world. This way thinking was healthy you could see it radiating off of my body changing the atmosphere as I walked in the room. My sun would shine brighter …show more content…
Depression and Anxiety were nonexistent in my dictionary, I was way too strong to get taken over by an emotion. Ignorant to the fact that its not just an emotion, it's a sickness, a mental condition that evicted all my previous thoughts and settled in. Before coming to the realization that something might just be wrong I fell face first into a downward spiral. I started questioning my worth, this is my kryptonite. I told myself there is no coming out on top, no more victory, I'll be lucky if I even make it out of this alive. There would be nights where I couldn't close my eyes because of the demons that lied within, telling me the things I didn't want to hear, showing me paths that seemed unavoidable. My tolerance level began to rise I needed something to suppress these feelings, something that could take me away from this world. Allow me to "Breathe" a little easier. I didn't want to live and then suddenly all of that changed. She was born into this world 7 Pounds 8 Ounces and 23 Inches tall and took us all by storm, As she grew her mind began to expand showing potential like none other. They limited her and tried to stop the train because it was moving to fast and not on the path that they
A challenge is nothing more than an obstacle that lies in one's path. I have had my fair share of such obstacles The main one has been my deafness. Many people consider deafness a disabilitya handicap that leads to problems or failure. I am proof that this stereotype is false. I was raised with the awareness that a person in my position can either be a "deaf person" or a person who happens to have a problem hearing. I chose to be the latter.
... front of me since the road to success is far away. Facing unknown obstacles is like drowning in water because obstacles are weighted heavily and sometimes I can't lift it. I just have to use my strength and hopefully, I can raise it off me. I learned that sometimes it is better to have a little false hope than to have none. Perseverance doesn’t not come naturally to all people but eventually it will come because they will find it. It helps them find their inner self by going through obstacles so that they can be more of a life challenge. I believe that this can change a person who they are because it is something everyone needs to go through life.
In life we all face obstacles. The troubles that we face don’t define us, how we overcome the situation is what makes us the people we are today. Throughout my life I have faced many trials and tribulations that I had to overcome with the help of my mother, ofcourse. I was smooth sailing in life until I started high school.
Obstacles are common and they normally occur within our life journeys. Although their occurrence is not expected, obstacles that we face in life makes our lives become not only challenging and more interesting but also more meaningful. They challenge us to keep trying to do our best to achieve what we have been dreaming of and looking for.
The obstacles which we must face are not there to hinder our daily life. They are there to provide countless opportunities to obtain greater success. In order to be successful we must look at every obstacle as a new opportunity.
Obstacles usually come from a quiet period of time when everything seems to be going perfectly. That’s when obstacles of any shape or form come one after the other. Eventually when the obstacles have been faced you can find yourself as a better or worse or worse person. One of the hardest obstacles I faced happened when I was 8 years old.
It had come to the attention of my family that I had some sort of psychological problem and something had to be done. I was always labeled as a shy and quiet kid, and like my family I had thought nothing more of my behavior. However, now it had become something more obvious. I had told my parents the kinds of problems I was having. Basically I didn't want to talk to anyone or to be anywhere near anyone I didn't know. I didn't really want to leave my house for any reason for fear that I might have to talk to someone. I was so critical and scrutinizing in relation to myself that I couldn't even enter into a conversation. Everyone seems to have a part of themselves that lends itself to thoughts of pessimism and failure, but mine was something that was in the forefront of my mind at all times. Something telling me that everything I did was a failure, and that anything I ever did would not succeed. Through discussion with my family it was decided that I should move out of my parents house to a place where I could find treatment and get a job. I was to reside with my sister Lisa, her partner Brynn, and their Saint Bernard in Greensboro.
As the contractions began to grip my stomach, I realized that my life would forever be changed. Knowing the old me had to die in order for me to become a new me. After being abandon at the age of five, I grew up feeling lonely and unloved. I was filled with so much anger, malice, hurt and unforgiveness that I held against others. I didn’t have the luxury of living in a stable environment, because growing up I was always living from home to home. I had no intentions to strive for better, I had begun to allow my upbringing to be my excuse. Years of disappointment resulted in me caring less in others desire. I couldn’t love anyone because love was never shown to me, but
Overcoming adversity is imperative. In fact, you can 't have the happiness and success you want unless you have adversity in your life and overcome it. It is essential for progressing into who you want to be. It shows you what you are made of. It teaches you more about yourself, how to approach what you want, and how to maintain the success that you have. Without it, you wouldn 't know how far you could go or how capable you are because you wouldn 't have anything to push you or compare to.
I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home, feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots.
There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
Many suffer from physical and mental obstacles that others are unaware of. Going through obstacles is part of life. Everyone has their own story of how they arrived to where they are in life. These accounts are unique to each and every individual. The important factor to remember is that these are personal experiences. What outside viewers perceive, as not a “great” accomplishment should not matter to the individual who struggled to achieve their goal, because no one, except that person, understands what it took to attain it. Others do not know your story and the obstacles you have overcome to get where you are now. There are a couple of hardships in my life that I have surpassed, and when I reminisce upon them I find great satisfaction in knowing I’ve overcome them.
My stomach weakens with a thought that something is wrong, what would be the answer I could have never been ready for. I call my best friend late one night, for some reason she is the only person’s voice I wanted to hear, the only person who I wanted to tell me that everything will be okay. She answer’s the phone and tells me she loves me, as I hear the tears leak through, I ask her what is wrong. The flood gates open with only the horrid words “I can’t do this anymore”. My heart races as I tell her that I am on my way, what I was about to see will never leave my thoughts.
The journey of life follows a predetermined pattern; we evolve from needing influence and guidance to finally reaching that point where our lives are up to us. I consider myself very lucky up to this point in my journey. Some people become sidetracked and wind up on a far different course than initially planned, but the detours I made have only assisted in embellishing the individual instead of devouring it.
I don’t know why I pushed everyone away. I never meant to. I never meant to do any of this. All of the stars were falling. I struggled. I saw flowers lose their beauty, nights would get lonely and were filled with anxiety, and things I found joy in felt boring. I fell. I started to lose hope. In the world, in people, in myself. It feels so awful waking up and hating yourself; especially when it turns into a daily thing. I just couldn’t stop thinking how much I messed up. My body was a target of my horrible thoughts. I began taking less care of it, I would constantly criticize it, but it did nothing to me. In fact it was always good to me. It helped me express myself, it also allowed me to stay alive. I can’t believe I didn’t acknowledge that earlier. It’s crazy how your mind can do so much damage, but it can also create so much love. Everything starts with yourself. I finally realized that. I realized people can give everything they have to try to make someone happy, yet they can’t achieve it if that person doesn’t try either. It was a hard at first. I found it hard to forgive myself for the hurricane I created. All of the chaos was over, therefore I was
