The ways of a hero

[Tyler Robinson]

I would like people to share about:    1.  Your biggest obstacle to the skill you finally became excellent at.

                                                                           2. What according to you kept you in the right direction.

*This might help people understand how others are able to accomplish great feats.

The biggest obstacle was people that knew me and I knew, as in not even just close relationships but anyone that knew me,(it was my ego), the skill is fearlessness.

What kept me in the right direction was that I didn't see any other path worthwhile

Something that works in general for me with obstacles and hard times is focusing on the sensations and feelings in my body in the moment during the hard time, experiencing it, like you're enjoying the rollercoaster, try closing your eyes and control your breathing and feel it. And I suppose with that maybe knowing that those although often considered bad feelings, those make life more colorful, it would be a boring life with a static emotion.

This works when overwhelmed or when you feel like you want or need help, it calms me up surprisingly quickly often instantly, and I then enjoy the challenge.
