This is a collaborative post by Ellie Jo with tips on overcoming your obstacles and reaching your goals this year.
There comes a time in all of our lives where we can face worry and difficulty. While we should all strive to live a fulfilling, healthy and happy life, on our own, or with partners and family, sometimes things can just get in the way.
Often things are not expected to happen, and sometimes those events can change your life and send you down a different and unplanned road. In some cases, the bad things that happen can lead to good things, as you start to see a big difference in the way you live your life or your priorities change. With that in mind, here are some of the common life hurdles you could face.

How to Overcome Hurdles and Reach Your Goals
Financial difficulty
Everyone goes through financial difficulty at times. It might be that you are not earning as much money as you once were, and yet you live your life to the previous income and have not made changes accordingly. It could be that you used credit cards and loans, with a view to pay them off because the income was there, and now circumstances have changed.
Financial difficulty can be different for everyone. It is the likes of not having enough to make ends meet, or you can see financial hardship because all you can do is pay your bills and not enjoy life in the way that you want to. Things can change. You can change your job, increase your income in your spare time, or budget differently so that you can make those changes.
A failed or troubled relationship
Many people enter into relationships and marriage expecting them to work out for the long term, but in actual fact, often relationships can begin to fail or enter into troubled times. It is true that not every relationship will be happy and rosy at times. There will be negative parts of your relationship that feel very isolating at the time, but like most things, these times can just be temporary, and with communication, you may work it out.
Of course, in some cases, relationships are just destined to fail and divorce may be on the cards where you discuss the situation with an alimony attorney. There is nothing wrong with that. It doesn’t mean that you have failed as a person, just that things have changed between you. A positive approach is to accept this when the time comes. Then, move on amicably for your sake and also for the sake of any other parties involved like family members or children.
A career you didn’t want
Not all of us know exactly what to do with our lives when we are at school and in a position to train and Lear a specific job. It often means we end up getting any job in order to pay the bills, and then in many cases, this becomes your career. You may have had the same job for years, or worked your way up through the ranks, but it might not have been what you wanted to do with your life. There is nothing stopping you from pursuing a job that you want to do. You could learn a new trade in your spare time, gain knowledge about different jobs before leaving your main job, and you could finally go for the things you feel passionate about.
Let’s hope this helps you overcome some of the common life hurdles.
