At times it feels like others thwart our goals and throw obstacles in our paths which hold us back. Today I am reminded that I am my own worst enemy. That I can choose to see those perceived obstacles as points of clarification, as questions that ask "do you really want to travel this path?" "are you sure you want to achieve this goal?". I can reflect instead of strain.
I can act swiftly and decisively and turn the challenge into a positive, make a friend of it and learn.
These obstacles, slow me down, perhaps I was moving too fast. Perhaps I do not have the tools I will need for this journey and this pause is helping me to acquire them.
Today, let me sit still long enough to see that my obstacles are friends and not hold it against those who place them there, instead let me practice forgiveness of others and of myself.
