How does everyone overcome big obstacles in life and continue moving forward?

I have went through alot of hard things in my life and came out the other side a better person, but I know this isn't always the case for others. Is it just different perception on the severity of these obstacles? I believe God has a purpose for everyone, and every challenge is a test of your faith. As I go through hard parts of my life, I pray.

I find this works for me. I retreat to somewhere quiet and meditate for a bit. It calms me down enough to think properly about this obstacle and find any weak points in it. Sorry if it's a bit sceptical and a bit weird but it my way to view problems. It has gotten me far in life for i managed to get all my homework and stuff done with high marks if i do this so i know it works.

It's not weird, everybody has their own methods. That's why I was curious to see what other's do to manage the stress when they are trying to overcome or work through an issue.

We always fear the steps taken by the left. We are always afraid that road began with a misstep that will receive the mark throughout his step and will be written after that pattern. And perhaps our fears are justified, most times ... maybe. But maybe there are times when an obstacle, a pebble, small or large, we face is not our role to prevent and stop us but the way we wake up, somehow, the us we shake a little and maybe so, to see things differently, perhaps more clearly, more clearly. And be better. Perhaps all that remains is to try. Take a step. Prevent us. And to start over again. Maybe tomorrow, which now seem resolved, we will seem less impossible. Perhaps we need all the ups and downs. Perhaps we should not be used to think that it was to be but can, however, all have a purpose. And we feel and think unnecessary. And those who feel that we can not move. Maybe. Perhaps it should not turn on "can" a certainty. Maybe all you have to do is to dare. To be. As we feel. Maybe.

the best way is to forget about everything bad and begin to do what you want and what you are interested in.I do not remember that i have ever had obstacles... but sometimes we just can not see them. In my opinion themore you believe in yourself the more you could do evrything you think you can not.
