When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal, you do not change your decision to get there."- Zig Ziglar

Good morning! Today is an amazing day and I am going to make it just that. Something wonderful is going to happen today and I can't wait to see what it is! Why do we let obstacles in the way of our goals derail our whole path to achieving our goals? So you have to take a different path than you planned. So it may not be easy. Is anything worth achieving every easy? If it's worth it and it means something to you, don't give up, just change the path and work harder. 

I've had to work very hard at achieving my goals over the past year. I've been derailed so many times, but I haven't given up. There are times that I wanted to give up, but I didn't. I know that if I did give up, then I would really regret it, so I'm still on the path to achieving my goals. I will achieve them. It may not be this year or next year. But it also may be this year. I'll never know until the time comes, but I will keep working hard every day to achieve those goals! I will never stop dreaming. I will never stop achieving. My life is way more important to me, than to give up because some silly obstacle popped up in my path.

Now it's YOUR Turn to Reflect on This:
I know that you have had at least one obstacle pop up in your path so far this year in 2014. Did this obstacle derail you from your goals temporarily? Or did you work around it, take a different path and get back on track to accomplishing your goals? In your journal, reflect on the obstacles that have popped up in your path this year so far. What did you do to work around that obstacle? Or what do you need to do starting today to work around that obstacle? Our goals won't achieve themselves. We have to work hard to achieve them, so get back to work! :)

Today's Affirmation:
 I am achieving my dreams and goals.
