Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. Henry Ford

Press on. Obstacles are seldom the same size tomorrow as they are today. Robert H. Schuller

The obstacles you face are… mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach. Clarence Blasier

An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.
Bo Bennett

A lot of people give up just before they’re about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
Chuck Norris

Fear is your greatest obstacle – so question your fear. If it does not serve your greatest life then do not make it your master.
Joy Page

I don’t really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Steve Earle

Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is.

1) Wanting Success Is At The Start Of Your Road To Success

Even if you want success, you could not be able to walk towards it. Success requires a road you can walk in, and this road have to be built by you and none else. Furthermore, building your road is not enough: you have also to be willing of going into it. Willing will be you major force towards your success.

How are you going to willing badly? Put your goal inside a bigger one, and the latter inside an ever bigger one. Thing big and see how each of these goals is going to support the bigger ones.

2) Understand The Success Principles

Every big success is built on principles, and success itself is no different. Understand what success means to you and its underlying principles. Many people have different meanings for success. Yours will affect your short and long term performance. Understand the 7 most important success principles [http://success-strategy.thesolution2.com/Main/Success-Strategy-7-principles.php] at my website.

3) Commit To The Road Of Success

Success requires means and commitment. Really, it requires more commitment than means. This implies everybody has the potential to reach it, but just a few people will achieve it.

Commitment is what is missing, as success requires involvement, passion, faith and 110% of your available resources.

4) Focus On Your Goal

Even if you commit, difficulties will arise. Your road to success will require a lot of attention, involvement and effort. All directed towards your goal.

You can increase focus by practicing the focus on just your goals. Take a few minutes every day where you keep your goal in front of your eyes, and nothing else. Drop every other thought, just keep focusing on your goal. This won’t be easy at start, but is necessary.

5) Prepare Yourself

When you are focusing on your goal, you are about to get started. It’s time to increase your power and maximise your success probability. You have to engage in increasing your self confidence and change your mindset, from fear of the future and the obstacles and need of control, to desire of the unknown, wishing to learn and desire for a new adventure in your road to success.

You can program yourself for success and create positive motivation in life for work, health and success on autopilot by just listening your way to success and abundance http://success-strategy.thesolution2.com/Main/Success-Strategy-listen-success.php.

6) Put Your Foot In And Follow The Signs

It’s now time to put your foot in your road to success. But where are you going to move to?

Your road to success will show you signs as every other road in your everyday life. Your goal has a path and signs pointing to it are all around you. You don’t see them? Just look for them and their suggestions will come to your awareness. Look for them and be patient. Soon you’ll see the path.

If you feel a sign is ambiguous, then go for two. Combine two signs and see what they have in common in suggesting the direction you should take. Two perceptions are better than one.

So…

Understanding, Willing, Committing, Focusing, Preparing and Following will set your road to success the right way. Just keep following the signs and you’ll be there sooner than you think. And remember to celebrate your success.

While researching ‘The Road To Success’ cartoon I came across this interesting list – it was itemized as a poem – but I couldn’t see any rhyme!?

The Road To Success is Always Under Construction
by Author Unknown
Life is not no much a matter of position as of disposition.
The best vitamin for making friends, B-1.
If you don’t care where you’re going any road will get you there.
A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice.
He who throws mud loses ground.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
Ideas won’t work unless you do.
The future is purchased by the present.
One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time.
Triumph is just “umph” added to try.
He who forgives ends the quarrel.
Children need more models than critics.
Frogs have it easy, They can eat what bugs them.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime.
If the going gets easy you may be going downhill.
Jumping to conclusions can be bad exercise.
The best labor saving device is doing it tomorrow.
A turtle makes progress when it sticks its neck out.
Failure is the path of least persistence.
Patience is counting down without blasting off.
Have a backbone not a wishbone.
Some folks won’t look up until they are flat on their backs.
If you want your dreams to come true, don’t oversleep.
Friend – One who knows all about you and likes you just the same.
Birds have bills too and they keep on singing.
A good example is the best sermon.
The Ten Commandments are not multiple choice.
Well done! is better than, Well said!
Minds are like parachutes – they function only when open.
If you can laugh at it then you can live with it.
People don’t fail, they give up.
When looking for faults use a mirror, not a telescope.
Smile, it takes only 13 muscles; A frown takes 64.
Kindness, a language deaf people can hear and blind can see.
A small leak can sink a great ship.
You can’t direct the wind, but you can adjust your sails.
We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.
Tact is the ability to see others as they wish to be seen.
A friend walks in when everyone else walks out.
If you must cry over spilled milk then please try to condense it.

B is for BELIEF!

A while ago I posted A is for Action – then totally forgot about the others I had on file. So I’m digging them out and will be posting them over the next few days. These were from a small collections of cartoons I did for a magazine here in the UK years ago called SUCCESS TODAY , it was short lived and folded before I got to the letter ‘I’. Shame – I loved that magazine!

Here’s a few BELIEF quotes that I liked:

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. Anatole France

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. [paraphrased] Buddha

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” Gail Devers

Hi, here’s one of my favourite motivational cartoons and it seems to be very popular with others. It’s one of the most requested and reworked/reworded cartoons in my portfolio.

Hope you like it and let me know your comments.
