Removing Obstacles In Your Way

There are times when we feel that we are unable to do things because there are too many obstacles that stand in our way. Whether we use them as an excuse not to do what we are capable of or as a sign of failure, we do not move forward. As we are all unique, obstacles are similar. What is challenging for one person, maybe easily be overcome by another. If we let ourselves become defeated even before trying, we prevent ourselves from reaching our goals. Instead of using obstacles as large boulders that stand in our way, look at them as stumbling blocks that help us to build our character. By taking a moment of reflection, we may discover that there is a better plan to resolve our problems. We don't need to remove the obstacles that are in our way, but use them as resources which help us through life. Today, think about what is stopping you from achieving your goals. Be creative and inventive. Turn your obstacles into ideas that will launch new opportunities for you.
There is a place for all of us...
 
(Life would be so much better without obstacles. But I do realize that without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I just wish I could anticipate them, so life wouldn't be so stressful. A person would need to be very creative trying to turn them into something positive. Life would become less crazy, if I look at an obstacle as just another challenge that molds my character.)
