The sport of hurdles involves running, and then when a hurdle comes you have to jump it and continue on your run. It's usually 110 Meters long, and the point is to be the fastest. Basically it's a more difficult 100 meter race. Obstacles are placed in the runners way on purpose.
Why do we have hurdles? What's the point?
It has been said that the only way a person can have self confidence is by overcoming hurdles. Because accomplishing something you didn't think you could results in a special kind of high, that makes you think that you are wonderful, worth something, and that the sky is the limit.
If we didn't have hurdles, we would be a weak miserable people. This world, every nation, family, school, and people have hurdles. We all have things that weigh us down, cause pain and beat us up a little bit.
Here are my steps to overcoming hurdles.
1) Know what it is. Figure out that you may be struggling with something. Label it. Define it. Don't let it define you. Do research if you have to. Understand all that you can about that hurdle. Knowledge is power, and in the right hands it's powerful.
2) BE POSITIVE. This is the hardest one, because at the base of any hurdle it's so much easier to stand there and think of ways around it, or not to deal with it at all. Let go of all your past baggage and allow yourself to believe in greatness. It's possible. Do not be scared to rise up to the challenge. We all have to. Why not allow yourself to be great?
3) Find supportive people- No man is an island. We CANNOT do it alone, we need someone. There will always be people in our lives that create hurdles, or pull us down. Shed those people, and find the ones that will help you climb when it gets tough. Because it will.
4) KEEP GOING. Life keeps going, we need to keep going. The way to overcome hurdles is to keep moving, because soon enough you will pass some. Keep moving, keep trying, don't give in. When you are moving in life, it means you are about to accomplish something, and why not allow that something, to be something great. All of the worlds successful people became successful because they kept going when the rest stopped. It's that last 10% when you are ready to quit that greatness will be achieved.
Hurdles come in all different ways in our life. Sometimes is the loss of a loved one. Sometimes is failure at school, it's a heartbreak, or maybe a sickness. We all have them. Not one person on this planet escapes without pain and suffering. It's what we do with it that matters. Whatever the hurdle is, it only has as much power as we give it. Allow yourself to rise about the hurdles, and to keep climbin and greatness will be achieved. It has to.
