17512 - What stands in our way becomes the way.

17512 - What stands in our way becomes the way.

Days Left On Earth: 17512

A life without problems would be horrifically dull. Yet no one welcomes obstacles.


But what if your challenges are specifically designed to make you stronger?


I like how Thomas Merton describes it, “Souls are like athletes that need opponents worthy of them. If they are to be tried and extended and pushed to the full use of their powers.”


The universe is testing you.


Do you want what resides on the other side of the obstacle?


Happiness

Success

Joy

Relief

Peace

Love

Connection…


If so, the barricade is not a reason to give up, it is a sign to push on.


Or as Marcus Aurelius, arguably the last great Roman Emperor, penned in his private journal, known as the meditations:


“The impediment to action advances action.

What stands in the way becomes the way”


Today meet your obstacles with a smile.


Thank you, Ryan Holiday, ‘The Obstacle Is The Way’ for the inspiration.
