“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal”
Everyone at one point in our life has played a game of Tic Tac Toe. Back in the days when ‘#’ was the premise for a cool game. It is one of the things that got us through boring lectures. We always saw it as a game, where we could pretend to write on the book, so the teacher doesn’t know we aren’t listening to her. But if you look at it from another perspective, it is all about overcoming obstacles. You put on a mark, obstructing it, something else comes, you avoid it and try to put another one, Surprise, there is another one blocking you. The purpose of the game is to overcome all the odds and connect the three. The class you played this game may have failed to educate you, but this game prepped you for something bigger called Life.
Life obstacles, those prevalent threats that very often come cross our paths in life and bring us to the verge of giving up, because whatever new experience we might have gained is not worth the anxiety that we go through at the time. These obstacles are sometimes sudden and hit you in the face out of nowhere, most times leaving you clueless and not knowing what to do next. Of course, many obstacles can turn out to be a life lesson that makes you think twice and forces you to choose another direction in life, but such obstacles help us in the long run. In fact, they are a necessary impetus and a driving force of our lives to keep us motivated towards our ultimate goals.
Obstacles is a force that awakens you to reality because no work comes without a cost and also life is a test to see who can thrive even in the darkest era for the brightest future. Great success comes from all the obstacles that you had to break through.
You may have 99 problems but that shouldn’t stop you from achieving what you truly want. Never be limited in estimating our own potential of what we can be, whenever possible one must try to overcome obstacles in life and regroup to find better ways of achieving the ultimate goals.
Struggles, challenges and hard times offer you much more value than any other time in your life. You cannot grow without a struggle. You cannot get stronger without resistance. Think about a time in your life that may have been hard, but looking back it forced you to become something better. Be grateful for the struggles and working on yourself will ensure your future has much more pleasure than pain. Always remember, you are not what you have done, you are what you overcome.
“The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”
