How To Turn Your Challenges and Obstacles Into Power

Posted on04. Aug, 2010 by Setema Gali.

Life is going to deal harsh moments. And one of the most important SKILLS we can gain is to learn in life is how to turn those “harsh” moments into POWER!

I remember playing football for my Alma Mater B.Y.U. and I faced some harsh moments…obstacles as we call them.

Not 1, not 2 and not 3…but 5 shoulder surgeries. Yes…football is a collision sport and very dangerous .

I suffered a fractured leg, two pulled groins (and if you’ve ever pulled your groin…it hurts like a @#$#%)

I experienced memory loss in a 20 minute black out concussion at Arizona State. I couldn’t remember the whole weekend.

We do everything right and our spouse leaves us.

A child is diagnosed with a rare disease and suffers physical pain.

We hit a point in our life where we begin to challenge everything we’ve been taught.
