Obstacles

Who or what is getting in your way?

Do you find yourself wanting to be somewhere/do something/achieve something etc but there’s just always something, some obstacle that gets in your way and prevents it?

The single most common obstacle is yourself (and I am not in any way judging here, I know because I do the same, neither am I trying to belittle anyone’s circumstances).

The self.

The ego.

We make excuses to keep us ‘safe’, to maintain the status quo, protect the ego and dissolve our liability.

Maybe this isn’t the case for you. Maybe you don’t do that and if so I congratulate you. And granted, there are things that are out of our control (as COVID has just proved!). But generally speaking ( i.e – improvements we strive for in health, changes in behavioural habits etc) this is not true for most of us.

So think about it for a minute.

I mean, REALLY think about it.

Are you your own biggest obstacle? Or do you recognise that you create (at least some of) your own obstacles?

Once you become aware of it you have taken your first step to changing it. You can then take further steps towards overcoming the obstacle. It won’t just disappear though, none of us have magic wands or magic pills.

There are NO quick fixes...

But we can commence and enjoy the journey together. It will take time and effort, but the freedom from self imposed and self limiting obstacles offers endless possibilities. X
