Marcus Aurelius Quotes

We all have challenges. You can let them be obstacles or roadblocks, or you can use them.

So I turned these sort of deficiencies into a, a workable thing if you understand what I mean.

My entire life, I have viewed every problem as an opportunity - I've had no choice.

In the end, it all comes to choices to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones.

You cannot change everything you face and you cannot also change anything without facing it.

Obstacles are Opportunities in disguise.

The right attitude can transform a barrier into a blessing, an obstacle into an opportunity or a stumbling block into a stepping stone.

Sickness is a hindrance to the body, but not to your ability to choose, unless that is your choice. Lameness is a hindrance to the leg, but not to your ability to choose. Say this to yourself with regard to everything that happens, then you will see such obstacles as hindrances to something else, but not to yourself.

It’s not what happens to you, but how you handle it. If Life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If the lemons are rotten, take out the seeds and plant them in order to grow new lemons.

Your problems are good. They are power in disguise.

Embrace each challenge in your life as an opportunity for self-transformation.

Obstacles are only opportunities to succeed or fail; how we handle them determines what will happen.

On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.

Nothing in life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.

All of us suffer difficulties in our lives. And if you say to yourself 'find a way,' you'll make it through.

Nothing is an obstacle unless you say it is.

I've learned that many of the worst things lead to the best things, that no great thing is achieved without a couple of bad, bad things on the way to them, and that the bad things that happen to you bring, in some cases, the good things.

Out of difficulties grow miracles.

Sometimes you surprise yourself with what you can handle, and if you come out the other end with some wisdom, then it's not such a bad thing.

In many ways, we all have extraordinary circumstances thrust upon us in life, and it's up to us to do the best with them.

I was always taught to let the obstacles be your guide because they lead you to places that you wouldn't have gone on your own. Instead of going through a rock, you go around it, creating a path.

Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want.
