The Obstacle

Let me just say that you suck.

Oh OK.

Don’t go.

Stopping the video saying Andre How dare you.

I have a point to this.

So bear with me.

When we try something and at first we don’t succeed.

It doesn’t feel good does it.

It doesn’t feel good to suck.

And this leads to our next principal.

That is the obstacle no matter what.

When we learn any topic we’re gonna encounter this obstacle that you suck.

You can literally see how far you have to go to stop sucking.

You can feel the distance between where I am now and where I want to be.

And it’s really frustrating right.

It feels like you’ll never get there like it’s an impossible task.

Maybe you think that it is possible to get to that end goal but it just seems like it’s going to take

such a long time.

It’s so far away.

Trying becomes just too much work.

But I want us to shift this focus of obstacles.

That is when you encounter an obstacle this idea or this voice in your head that says no you can’t do

it or you suck.

You want to change it to good.

I’m doing something worthwhile.

Instead of our ego being protected because we don’t want to suck we want to change the focus to saying

good.

I’m learning a skill that probably others are feeling the same thing they’re going to turn around.

But that’s not me.

I’m going to keep going because this is what makes a skill a topic valuable to learn because nobody

is good at anything at first.

Right.

All the world’s most successful people were beginners at their craft.

One time Bill Gates couldn’t code a time in his life.

Elon Musk probably couldn’t do any addition.

All these people that we look up to.

At first we’re just beginners when you take a test and get the wrong answer.

And here’s the truth.

If you succeeded right away and you didn’t encounter any obstacles that’s actually a bad thing because

you won’t learn the hard lessons that failures teach.

The thing you want to do and the path you want to go on the learning you want to do.

The new career that you want to take the new business that you want to start.

Most people won’t do them because of these obstacles but the obstacles are the path that others abandon.

Why do you do when you encounter those failures will define your future success.

So shift your focus when you see these words enjoy sucking when you feel like you suck.

Congratulation you found something that people aren’t willing to do and this is what’s going to make

your skill valuable.
