OVERCOME MAJOR OBSTACLES WITH SUCCESS!

How many times have you faced a challenge so overwhelming that it felt like the world was caving in?

Moments when you questioned whether you had the strength to keep going?

We all have those times when it feels like life’s obstacles are just too big to overcome.

Maybe you’ve been told, “It’s impossible,” or maybe you’ve said it to yourself.

The weight of fear, doubt, and uncertainty can feel suffocating.

But what if those same challenges were the very things shaping you into someone stronger, more resilient, and unstoppable?

Now, imagine being in the shoes of Manami Ito.


Manami Ito

She was on her way to becoming a nurse and had been playing the violin since childhood.

Her future was bright, filled with hope and promise.

Then one day, a motorbike accident changed everything.

Her right arm was amputated, and suddenly, the dreams she had held onto felt distant, impossible to achieve.

Can you imagine how she must have felt?

The fear, the heartbreak, the sense of loss.

Everything she had worked for seemed out of reach.

But Manami wasn’t ready to give up.

Even though people told her that playing the violin with a prosthetic arm was an “impossible” dream, she persisted.

She relearned how to play, bowing her violin with her shoulder blades, determined to fulfill a childhood promise to her mother.

She didn’t just stop there.

She went on to become a two-time Paralympian, a symbol of courage and resilience.

Manami’s journey is the epitome of finding purpose, living with honor and courage, and pushing forward no matter what.

She transformed her greatest pain into a powerful purpose.

Now, let’s talk about how you can apply these lessons in your life.

First, find your Ikigai—your reason for being.

Manami’s purpose was rooted in her love for music and her promise to her mother.

Ask yourself: What brings you joy and fulfillment? What is that thing that makes you get up in the morning, even on the hardest days?

Once you find your Ikigai, use it as your guiding light through any challenge.

Next, embrace the Code of Bushido, the way of the warrior.

This means living with honor, courage, and integrity.

When life throws obstacles your way, face them with the strength of a warrior.

It’s about standing tall, even when everything around you feels like it’s falling apart.

Honor your commitments to yourself and others, and never compromise your values.

And finally, practice Ganbaru—the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Manami could have given up, but instead, she kept pushing, perfecting her craft with every step.

It wasn’t easy.

Playing the violin with a prosthetic arm took years of practice and failure, but she never stopped trying.

Whatever your goal is, Ganbaru teaches us to give our absolute best, no matter the odds.

Here are some practical ways to apply these principles:

1. Set clear goals tied to your purpose (Ikigai). Define why these goals matter to you. Write them down and revisit them daily to stay focused.

2. Take courageous action every day (Bushido). No matter how small, take a step towards your goal. Face fears, speak your truth, and honor your commitments.

3. Commit to mastery and resilience (Ganbaru). Failure will happen—embrace it. Commit to showing up consistently, learning from setbacks, and giving 100%, even when it feels impossible.

When you apply these lessons, you’ll start to see that the challenges you face aren’t roadblocks—they’re stepping stones.

You’ll develop a deeper sense of purpose that drives you forward.

You’ll feel more confident in the face of adversity, knowing that resilience and persistence are your greatest allies.

Your relationships will grow stronger, your business will thrive, and your personal growth will soar as you begin to see obstacles as opportunities.

What’s one challenge you’ve faced that seemed impossible but led to growth?

What tips do you have for staying resilient when life throws unexpected challenges your way?

There's nothing better than knowing human psychology. Everything changed and will too, but human psyche, never. That's why sales and marketing ethics remain same (reciprocity being the biggest element) Lori
