Henry Ford said that obstacles are things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. The document discusses how some people accomplish great things despite obstacles because they keep their goals firmly in mind and do not lose sight of their objectives. It provides the example of Helen Keller graduating from college and writing 11 books despite being deaf and blind. The document suggests that if Keller could achieve such lofty goals despite her obstacles, then others should be able to as well by keeping their goals firmly planted in their mind and focusing on achieving them rather than on obstacles.

2. "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." – Henry Ford, Ford Motor Founder

4. Why is it that some people seem to accomplish so many things despite extraordinary obstacles?

6. According to Henry Ford's quote it could be because they have large goals that they keep firmly planted in their mind and never lose sight of their real objectives.

8. Recently while discussing Helen Keller with someone. I was surprised to learn that she had written 11 books and had graduated from college despite all the obstacles she faced in her life.

10. If she can accomplish such lofty goalsthen why can't those of us who are able to hear and see? Maybe it is because you have lost sight of the goal and instead focused on the obstacles in front of you.

12. In order to achieve the goals that you would like to achieve in your life it is important that you keep them firmly planted and have a clear mental picture of what it will look like when that goal is accomplished.

14. Then when obstacles arise, and they will, it is easier to find the appropriate solution and work through that obstacle in order to achieve what you really desire.
