Once again, I've found another true quote, and this one gave me something for my brain to chew on. If you think about it, when you go up against something extremely difficult, no matter how small or large the problem is, you're not really overcoming your own problem at all. You have the capability to do anything you set your mind to, but you have to overcome your own obstacles within yourself to jump over your "hurdle" (that is, your problem) and keep on going, never stopping or slowing down. And once we get though our problem or get over that mountain, we overcome our weaknesses, our second doubts, and our own self-inflicted hindrances that say, "I can't do it" or "this problem is too big for me to handle alone." After we get through those obstacles, nonetheless, we realize our true strengths, and even strengths that we didn't know we had. We climbed over that mountain and made it through, and it's all thanks to ourselves-- not our problem. The problem or "mountain", in my opinion, is merely a tool that helped us realize our own strengths and weaknesses. We're capable of anything-- we just have to work hard to get ourselves through it.
