overcoming obstacles with CMT

[Guest guest]

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has

reached in life as by the obstacles which were overcome while trying to

succeed. --Booker T. Washington

When hurdlers race, they look ahead to see each hurdle that must be

leaped. High-jumpers see the height of the bar they have to clear.

Businesspeople look at charts to see their positions and the number of

positions they must pass in order to reach their goals. Students are

well aware of the number of credits and course requirements needed for a

degree.

Not all of the obstacles in life are as easy to see. Those of us who

have CMT must overcome tremendous obstacles just to survive. Some of us

may have such a low self-image that by just feeling satisfied with a

simple accomplishment, we have overcome tremendous blocks to having good

self-esteem.

As we measure each day's successes, we need to keep in mind the

obstacles we have to face. And those that we will continue to face. When

we have leaped over a 'CMT hurdle' of sorts, we have earned a great

success. Over-coming one obstacle means there is one less hurdle to

stand in our way. Let's Go for the GOLD!
