"The obstacles of your past can become the gateways
that lead to new beginnings."
Ralph Blum
On a certain day, we may be feeling confident and truly happy, but the Universe seems to have an alternate plan. It creates a new obstacle. As our emotions cascade from joy to perhaps fear, a new approach is required. Time is wasted if we get stuck in the 'why' of things. It is beneficial if we place focus on what the lesson might be.
As we evaluate the gnarled mess before us, we can begin to dismantle outer pieces. Hopefully this will reveal what is knotted inside. Often, this calls upon us to heighten our skills and change priorities. In time, an awareness surfaces that connects the intention of the lesson with new possibilities.
Obstacles are not meant to stop us dead in our tracks. They are simply hurdles with rewards waiting on the other side. They are not meant to deaden us, but to shake us into broader experiences that will deepen our life. No matter how challenging, push forward at a chosen pace and persevere. A new beginning awaits.
