The Obstacle Is The Way

When we think about separation and divorce, what usually comes to mind is that it is an obstacle. We see it as a problem, and something that needs to be fixed. But when you look at your separation or divorce and only see the problem, you fail to realize that it is actually an opportunity.

Too many of you are so HURT and so ANGRY when you go through a separation or divorce that you don’t know how to take action. But the philosophy Mark shares today is so impactful that you should be applying it in EVERY aspect of life. Mark is showing you how to look at your problem for what it actually is, how he applied this work in his own life, and how to turn these obstacles into opportunities in your life.

“This can’t harm me. I might not have wanted it to happen, but I decide how it will affect me. No one else has the right.”

- Mark Santiago
