Barbara de Angelis Quotes

I have a message for the young kids. Life is about obstacles, endeavors in life are not to be overlooked.

It's part of life to have obstacles. It's about overcoming obstacles; that's the key to happiness.

Reflecting back, we all make mistakes; we all go through our stuff - relationships, financial, all kinds of stuff - and if you can grow from that and pass that message on, it's a pretty cool thing.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

I've always felt in life, you get a lot of things you have to overcome.

Everything is pretty good in my life, and like everybody else, things happen, and you put your head down and solve challenges.

To be able to look at change as an opportunity to grow - that is the secret to being happy.

Change doesn't have to be hard, and healing doesn't have to hurt. Surely by now you know that every thing happens for a reason! There is something better awaiting you on the other side of this.

Don't just go through it; grow through it.

View the events you consider obstacles as perfect opportunities to test your resolve and find your purpose.

Life's fulfillment finds constant obstacles in its path; but those are necessary for the sake of its advance. The stream is saved from the sluggishness of its current by the perpetual opposition of the soil through which it must cut its way. The spirit of fight belongs to the genius of life.

It’s for you to decide whether change is right for you right now. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But either way keep the growth mindset in your thoughts then when you bump up against obstacles you can turn to it, it will always be there for you showing you a path into the future.

The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

Yet everyone begins in the same place; how is it that most go along without difficulty but a few lose their way?

Nobody’s journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. It’s just life’s way of saying, ‘Time to change course.’

There will be mistakes and there will be falters. There will be things that are not a part of your plan. See the challenges in your life and accept them and embrace them.

Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
