How I overcame adversity to accomplish my goals

Posted on October 03, 2024 by Brad Ault, One of Thousands of Leadership Coaches on Noomii.

I identified a mindset that allowed me to overcome every obstacle and turn it into an opportunity for growth (#growthmindset). Now I’m living my dream of constantly growing and improving in every area of life and I never have to worry about allowing anything to prevent me from constantly growing, improving, and reaching my full potential ever again (#potentialfinder).

Let me tell you a quick story about the obstacles I overcame while trying to become an officer in the United States Army.

At the time I was trying to become an army officer so that I could grow and progress in my career.

I was struggling with finding direction for my life and reaching my full potential.

And I was getting more and more confused, worried, and frustrated.

Then something really horrible happened: after two months at Army officer candidate school, I was sent home as a result of the doctor saying I will never run again since I had multiple stress fractures in both of my legs (#keepdreaming).

Which meant I couldn’t fulfill my dream of becoming an army officer and furthering my career.

As you can imagine, I was in bad shape and desperate, but I wasn’t ready to give up on my dream of constantly growing and improving in every area of life.

You can experience the joy and fulfillment that results from constantly growing and improving in every area of life too!

Then I identified a mindset that allowed me to overcome every obstacle and turn it into an opportunity for growth.

At that point, everything changed because I figured out how to:

- Recover physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally from any kind of setback.

- Turn any negative into a positive.

- Let nothing stop me from fulfilling my true potential if I want it bad enough.

Since I identified a mindset that allowed me to overcome every obstacle and turn it into an opportunity for growth, I was able to:

- Start the officer candidate school training all over again after a few months of rehabilitation and convincing my superiors to give me another chance.

- Complete the rigorous three months of officer candidate school training to become an army officer.

- Overcome obstacles, reach my true potential, fulfill my dreams, and show others how to do the same.

Now I’m living my dream of constantly growing and improving in every area of life and I never have to worry about allowing anything to prevent me from constantly growing, improving, and reaching my full potential ever again (#neverstopgrowingandimproving).
