Knowing how to overcome challenges life throws at you forms an essential part of your journey to success. Oprah Winfrey is a shining example of how to be yourself and not worry about the Joneses. She has shattered glass ceilings for decades and continues to rise by being authentic. Like everyone, she has made mistakes in life, but she always remains authentic through the high and low points in her career. And she shows us all to never be ashamed of anything.

How to Overcome Challenges

In business and in life, always be yourself, and be proud of who you are. Don’t let shame, bitterness, or regret hold you back. You are wired to survive the storms of life and emerge a winner. Baring It All is a podcast on Apple Podcasts by Barbara Majeski that features interviews with successful actors and entrepreneurs who share their backstories. These interviews show us that everyone has a cross to bear, but regardless of the hardships these people have gone through, they have risen to success. These stories inspire us to keep going. 

In Baring It All, we get to see the grit behind the glamor. If these people can get through what they have gone through to reach their success, you can too. There is nothing you can’t get through! “Run the race as fast as you can. Don’t worry about your competitors.” Oprah Winfrey. 

Keys to overcoming challenges in life:

Consistency unlocks all of your potential and your ambition.

Persistence pushes you to remain consistent even when your motivation dwindles. People fall and fail all the time, but getting up and continuing to push forward in the face of hardship sets champions apart from everyone else. 

Action: You must take action at every milestone. You need to take action to move forward. 

Accountability: Hold yourself accountable for your goals to keep pushing forward. 

Just get it done. Do whatever it takes. 

Takeaway: How to Overcome Challenges

• Always write down your goals: Write down what you want. 
• Schedule your actions. And schedule it with other people to hold you accountable.
• Don’t be ashamed of your journey. 
• If “they” can do it, so can you. Don’t stop. Take inspiration from others who have risen above their challenges and push yourself to do the same.
