If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Jordan frames achievement as inseparable from resistance: “roadblocks” are not anomalies but a universal feature of striving. The quote’s pivot is from inevitability (“everybody has had them”) to agency (“don’t have to stop you”), shifting the listener from complaint to problem-solving. His wall metaphor offers a practical triad—climb, go through, work around—implying creativity and persistence rather than a single heroic response. The emphasis is less on talent than on adaptive resilience: progress depends on treating obstacles as information about the task, not as verdicts on one’s worth or prospects.
