Life is challenging when we have an obstacle to get through. It’s not easy to get through obstacles. Anything that moves has to go through obstacles. If we make the obstacle smaller in our minds than it may be easier to conquer through it. We will find a way through it, if we see an obstacle as a challenge and not a burden. We can learn all kinds of lessons. We have a choice in our response to obstacles- we either act or react. It’s better to be proactive than be reactive, because there’s a feeling of control. We like to feel control when confronted by obstacles in our lives. So if we’re proactive, we can plan how best to deal with life challenges.
