Obstacles are the stepping stones of life.
To a younger mind, most obstacles are seen as problems that prevent us from getting what we want. Or worse, blocking our vision for our future.
What if each obstacle is there so we can recognize it and face it, rather than avoiding or wishing it away?
What if this is the opportunity to look at the struggle we are feeling and bring a new perspective and understanding?
What if this will bring you closer to a future that is right for you?
What if this is the gateway to real growth in our adult lives?
When we place our foot firmly on the stepping stone, and then the other, we can find our balance in uncertainty.
Stepping forward with awareness and readiness takes us along the path.
Embrace the discomfort and the growth that is to be revealed.
Trust.
Breathe.
Love.
This is a wonderful way of looking at life.

It’s helpful to see obstacles and challenges as opportunities for growth, rather than as permanent impediments to our happiness.
