Isolation is the dream killer. Reach out!
Reach out to share your wish and obstacle.
Then surround yourself with people who are dedicated to helping you overcome your obstacle.
These are Barbara Sher’s ideas. She says that, as humans, we are problem solvers. Even if we don’t like a person, should they pose a desire and an obstacle, we look for a solution to the obstacle. Isolation is the dream killer.
So.
Reach out to share your wish and obstacle.
Do I agree with everything she teaches? Not fully. But it is interesting. And I do agree that being isolated doesn’t help overcome an obstacle.
Her stories are humorous and wonderful! Below you can watch a TEDx video of Barbara telling some of those stories. It’s an encouraging way to spend 20 minutes of your life. It’ll make you smile at the very least. (She’s an excellent story-teller.)
What’s your wish? What’s your obstacle?

I agree that we need to share our dreams and obstacles – no one is an island. But, I sorta took offense when she said New Yorkers are neurotic. I’m a born and raised New Yorker and far from being neurotic. I also lived in Los Angeles for 18 years – and not everyone there is neurotic either. I think she was attempting some humor, but it didn’t work. No one should stereo-type people like that. I am, however, opinionated. LOL
I’m all for positive thinking!
