The Obstacle Your Facing Is a Test (Content inspired by a recent email from Dan Martell)
Most people miss this: The obstacle isn’t a sign to stop. It’s a test of how badly you want to pursue what you’ve been asking for.
The difference between those who grow and those who quit isn’t talent, money, or connections. It’s what you do when things go sideways.
You will be tested! Plans will break. People will leave! Progress will stall! And in those moments, you have a choice.
Here’s what resilient, faith-driven leaders do differently:
• They default to gratitude — before spiraling into what’s wrong, they anchor to what’s still right.
• They return to their “why” — purpose outlasts pain when it’s deeper than convenience.
• They make it bigger than themselves — because someone is always watching how you respond.
Resilience isn’t built by wishing things were easier. It’s built by deciding—ahead of time—that quitting is not an option.
Your perseverance doesn’t just shape your future. It gives others permission to keep going too as well.
Next Step:
If you’re facing an obstacle right now, pause and ask yourself:
. What is this testing in me—and who could be strengthened by how I respond?
. Then take one step forward anyway. Nothing will happen until you do something.
