"Overcoming obstacles is a discipline of **three critical steps**. "It begins with **how we look at our specific problems, our attitude or approach**; "then the energy and creativity with which we **actively break them down and turn them into opportunities**; "finally, the **cultivation and maintenance of an inner will** that allows us to handle defeat and difficulty. "It’s three interdependent, interconnected, and fluidly contingent disciplines: **Perception, Action, and the Will**."
