Everybody Has Barriers and Obstacles

Everybody has barriers and obstacles.
If you look at them as containing fences
that don't allow you to advance
then you're going to be a failure.
If you look at them as hurdles that
strengthen you each time you go over one,
then you're going to be a success.
...Benjamin Carson
