Say Goodbye to Obstacles

Do you sometimes feel that your life is full of perspiration rather than inspiration? You work, work and more work, but nothing seems to be doing and you seem to go nowhere. It’s as if you’re stopped in traffic on Interstate your life. If you’re like me, you’re pounding on the horn, riding the tail of the car in front of you, and using language dubious or downright ugly in your impatience to move quickly.

There may be no evidence of movement in your outer life, but the engine of your car is still in progress and things are always moving. In fact, the inner workings of your car are pretty impressive if you throw the hood and take a look or slide under the car of a different perspective. (Do not try this in traffic, ok?)

My point? Much is happening and slip in our lives we are always aware, and perhaps we need to stay up a little while to let it sink in. Perhaps we need to sacrifice our dependence upon society to speed and constant motion, and take a breather soon. (Now does not that sound appealing for a change?)

When you’ve been relentlessly pounding away at a project or goal, perhaps the best thing you can do when you keep the obstacle, even repeatedly, is just sit it out. There is a reason for the resistance – is a clear sign that a) we must change our approach and continue to move in the same direction, or b) We need to change direction altogether.

You’ve heard the old adage: “When one door closes, another opens.” That’s swell, but what if you need to forget altogether the doors and find a way to extract the low walls or climb on the roof? What if you need to consider the possibility altogether different to be successful, rather than frustrating?

Obstacles and resistances are your indication that you need to slow down, reassess, reassess, and then take appropriate action. Otherwise, you push in May, forcing a solution while running on everything and everyone in your path.

Please remember that doing nothing or waiting is ACTION! Anyone who has experienced a hurricane will tell you. It was not until the end of the eye and its aftermath – If you start going too fast, you’ll probably be injured or killed.

So next time you are faced with a sort of obstacle or resistance in your life – you want to change things but they are just not, you’re not able to overcome your own resistance to something or someone else is putting obstacles in your way – take a break, go to a safe place, and ask: “What must I do to wait this out? Let the obstacle will dissolve itself and the traffic of your life starts to move again or you imagine another way, maybe even a detour that takes you to an incredible destination that you never imagined possible !

One thing is certain – you will not get anywhere if you succumb to road rage and get angry about the obstacles in your path. Instead, pause, take a deep breath and let your mind clear. Then the path you are taking will be clearer than ever, all because you had the patience, courage and grace to wait.
