Obstacles, adversities, setbacks - whatever you may choose to call them, are some things, that we humans, do not ever want to cross paths with, in our lives. But honestly, is it really possible? Or even if it is possible, do you really think that the human race can ever be happy if it had no problems to solve or goals to achieve. Personally, I do not think so. These obstacles are actually opportunities for us. Here are some quotes, given by people who took to life's challenges like a fish takes to water, and emerged winners all the way. Motivational Quotes Never, never, never, never give up. ― Winston Churchill Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. ― Henry Ford Wanting something is not enough.

Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way. ― Les Brown We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve. ― Maxwell Maltz Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. ― Norman Vincent Peale You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . .

Washington It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. ― Albert Einstein I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage.
