Many wonder, “When I am facing all these obstacles how am I supposed to keep going and moving?”. Well, the answer is like a soft rock. It is easy and hard at the same time as a soft rock is smooth and hard on the inside but it is also perspective, it may feel smooth to you but hard to others. The obstacles are like a soft rock because it is all about how your perspective is on the problem or how you understand the problem. Moving on, there are numerous ways to surpass these outcomes. For example, you can first start by understanding that with all these outcomes and obstacles no matter what you do the past is the past and you can not change the past. By understanding that you can not change the past only change the present and the future you get rid of the emotions that hold you back from moving forward. Furthermore, understand that your life needs to have obstacles for there to be a triumph. For instance, in all stories and movies, there is a main character and a problem, and the whole story is about how the character overcomes this obstacle, this can be applied or related to your life because it is the same instance. You are the main character and anybody or anything that gets in your way can still be overcome. In my life, I am the main character and that’s how I surpass all my troubles. I used to struggle with all the problems about how am I gonna get past this problem or how am I going to study for this test as well as finish the homework, but I just understood that no matter what even if I failed the test or didn’t finish the homework it is going to be fine and that I just got to keep going forward. I am able to keep moving forward due to this mentality as well as understanding all my work will be satisfied if I finish that journey.

Now once you have that understanding down, you have to understand one last thing. Life is also like a videogame, the game isn’t over when he loses to the boss or somebody else, the game is over when the character dies or gives up. Now do not take the fact that the game is over when the character dies to heart, but the understanding is that the game is over when you give up not when you lose. Think about it in an abundant amount of movies there are parts where the protagonist does not win but the protagonist finds another way to triumph or weaken the antagonist enough to where the protagonist can win. Another example of this is seen in wars or battles. In much of history, the war is not over if one side wins the battle it is over when one side understands that they have lost and surrendered. This is also where the phrase “you may have won the battle but not the war” can surface and be applied. Lastly, learn from your failure. This is the best way to keep moving forward is by using failure to learn from so those mistakes don’t resurface. In the same way, I am like the character and I think of life as a videogame, I find another way to defeat the boss or another way to defeat my obstacle. It is really like a soft rock, all just perspective, and it is pretty easy except it’s a little hard.

Once you interpret all of these into your life you will finally start to see progress in yourself only moving forward. I mean it worked for me, I have this exact same mentality to keep moving forward past all my tribulations. Just try it out!
