obstacles

How do you handle obstacles that come across your path? Do you dig in and start climbing? Do you plow through them with confidence? Well, if you are anything like me, or how I used to be, I would stop dead in my tracks and analyze. I would be at a stand still with fear and doubt. I would worry that I would make the wrong decision and live in regret. I would over-analyze the unpredictable outcome and not act at all. My mind would shift to being a victim and I would get upset that this was happening TO me. Obstacles kept me running on the “old way of being” hamster wheel because I would go back to what is safe and predictable.

I’ve come to learn that obstacles are a good thing! They are lessons that need to be learned. They are opportunities to grow. They are put there to push you out of your comfort zone. They are happening FOR you. The Universe is gifting them to you so that you can move toward the life you dream of. You should take obstacles as a sign that you are moving in the right direction.

Don’t let obstacles slow you down. They are created to make you stronger and more resilient. Approach them with confidence and quickly choose on how to get over them. The mind will do everything in its power to keep you safe and stagnant. As long as you are aware that any fear or doubt is just the Ego talking, you are able to trust your gut and be confident in your decision. Maybe we don’t always take the easy approach but at least we will know what to do the next time that obstacle crosses our path and get over them much faster!

Life is about the journey. Trust that the path you have taken happened exactly as it was supposed to and the obstacles all happened FOR you. If you don’t love the direction it has gone, then just choose differently next time. You are divinely guided. Listen to your heart. Trust your gut. Always choose love and keep moving forward!
