You're Thiiiiisssss Close!

Have you ever noticed that so often, when you're thiiiissss close to reaching a goal, an obstacle pops up that threatens to defeat you?

It's happened to me so often that now I simply plan for the obstacle.

I don't know what it'll be but I know it'll be something!

Since I can't plan for what the challenge will be I prepare by telling myself to not let whatever it is get me down or, in some cases, slow me down.

Depending on which strategy I think will work I either double my efforts, pick up the pace, or back off a little, relax, and let things work themselves out.

If you're pumping away on a project how will you react if an obstacle pops up?
