Your First Step to Success
 迈向成功的第一步
Think back to a time in your life when you felt inspired and excited to make a significant change. Did you go for it or did your inner obstacles get in the way?
　　Your thoughts and beliefs are the foundation on which you build your success. You can’t build a solid house on a foundation of clay and debris, and the same truth holds for your success.
　　If your thoughts and beliefs are shaky, these internal obstacles will hold you back unless you eliminate them.
　　Learning to handle obstacles is the best way to stand your ground and succeed. While evasion only undermines your self-esteem.
　　Nature presents you with these challenges in order to learn to weather the storm and grow stronger.
　　To succeed in overcoming obstacles, you need to have the guts not to quit, but to see things through, to have the strong faith to believe more in yourself than in the obstacles and to have the willingness to do what it takes to turn the obstacles around.
　　This means, you need to stand up to your obstacles and believe you can overcome them. When you attack your obstacles and do something about them, you will find that they are not as threatening as they appeared to be at first.
　　Decide that you will not give up and if something has to give , it will have to be the obstacles and not you.
　　Standing up to your obstacles imparts you with a sense of accomplishment and reinforces the sense of your inner power. By developing a habit of facing resistance, you instill into your psyche a strong message of endurance and success. This strengthens the faith and the belief in yourself, which helps remind you of the responsibility to yourself.
　　Sometimes you may have to resort to some other measures to overcome obstacles. If you can’t get through the problem, try going around it, and if you can’t go around it, try getting under it, and if you can’t get under it, try going over it, and if you can’t go over it, just dive straight into it.
In your path to a successful life, you are the only real obstacle.
　回顾一下，在你生命中的某个时刻，你突然灵光一闪，并冲动地想作出一个重大改变。你会努力去争取实现，还是会被内心的障碍阻止了脚步呢？
　　你的思想和信仰是你成功的基础。在泥土和残骸的地基上，你无法建造一栋结实的房子，成功也存在着同样的道理。
　　如果你的思想和信仰摇摇欲坠，如果你不清除内心的障碍，它们就会阻碍你的前进。
　　学会清理障碍是立足于大地并获得成功的最好办法，而逃避只会有损你的自尊。
　　大自然将这些挑战呈现在你面前，是为了让你学会经受风雨的磨炼，更茁壮地成长。
　　要成功清除障碍，你需要有坚决不放弃的勇气，看清事物的本质，对自己拥有坚定的信念，胜过于对那些障碍，还要有清除障碍所必需的主动。
　　这意味着你必须勇敢地抵抗自身的障碍，要相信自己一定能征服。当你向这些障碍发起攻击，并有所行动时，就会发现它们并不像起初看上去的那样可怕。
　　下定决心，永不放弃。如果一定要有一方让步的话，那一定是障碍，而不是你。
　　与你的障碍对抗，你将获得一种成就感，它会使你内心的力量强大。培养一种直面反抗的好习惯，你就可以慢慢地给心灵灌输一种忍耐和成功的强大信念。这会使你对自身的信仰和信心有所增加，从而对提醒你对自己负责很有帮助。
　　要清除障碍，有时你还要采取其他的办法。如果你不能攻克障碍，就试着绕过去；如果无法绕过去，那就控制它；如果控制不了，那就越过去；如果无法越过，那就径直冲过去。
　　在通向成功人生的道路上，你是唯一真正的障碍
