As I upload this episode, I am having a challenging day. There are some deadlines coming up. Technology is not cooperating. I'm having trouble focusing.

It would be easy to fall into the trap of self pity and lament. I could say "why is this happening now?!"

Instead, I am focusing on the target and pushing through the obstacles. Is it frustrating? Of course it is, but it is much less so when I focus on where I'm going and not what's trying to stop me.

And guess what? When I look back on what obstacles I worked through this morning, I can't even really remember what they were. All I know is that I got it done.

That's the lesson today. Push through.

What is your adversity teaching you?
