There is Always a Way

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

There is Always a Way

When life gets in the way, do you get frustrated about being blocked?  

I used to be that way. Something changed.

I learned long ago that getting blocked would be an everyday occurrence. And, the bigger my goals, the more blocks would arrive. I could live with endless frustrations - or find a better way. It came down to this:

1) Blocks have nothing to do with who I am. They could be self-inflicted or caused by others, but they still have nothing to do with me. 

2) If you want something, there is always a way to get it. Always… always… always. You may not like the path, your ego may get in the way, or it may scare you, but there is always a way.

The next time frustration gets in your way, blow it off and keep moving. There is always a way to get what you want. Find it.
