This message hit me loud and clear last night when I was reading over a quote I wrote down from the great brother Dick Gregory’s discussion. A midst tons of other jewels, he stated, “You can go to the tallest mountain and laugh because it’s as big as it’ll ever be.. you grow everyday.” I just thought this was so amazing bc it’s true. What was the message I got last night?
Obstacles are not permanent fixtures.
So simple, yet for me, so profound.
Look back at the last obstacle you had.. Many times we feel like our obstacles, mountains, problems, will never end. We treat them as such. Like they’re rooted in concrete and shall not pass. Whether its in a relationship, friendship, self-imposed blocks, whatever bump is in the road, just know its NOT permanent… so stop giving your power to fleeting issues. If we become malleable, we can withstand anything. Like water, we must flow, bend, curve, and turn, with the current.. in turn, we will soon come to learn that every lesson is a blessing. Every. single. one. Thats even hard for me to say… Every lesson you ask? That friend that screwed you over? The jerk? Money issues? The impossible to work with boss? Yes. Its a lesson, just for you. To make you grow. Give thanks for it, learn from it, and either move on, or dont allow it to control you. Anyway… I could go on and on, but i’ll stop here. Always remember…
Obstacles are not permanent fixtures!!
sn: I am totally a work in progress… and I have sooooooo many obstacles that I never discuss that im sure ppl would never believe but I have faith that there is more to this thing called life and we came here to enjoy, learn, and explore. Because of this, my “obstacles” dont consume me (sometimes… haha)
Id love to hear your personal experience of an obstacle that you overcame. Did it seem like it would never end? What did you learn?

Love it!! & yes there are several things I have overcome that i NEVER IMAGINED I would. Such as achieving inner peace and calmness (through meditation) even in areas of life where I used to be constantly stressed and depressed over, such as money issues, which i’m working through now. I’ve learned to just be calm and Voila! All the fears that I thought would come true never did. The money that was for something needed always ended up manifesting. This attitude spilled over onto my husband who used to worry sick about finances. He is much more relaxed now about things, still manages the budget as always but has relaxed somewhat in the past year and things have been going smoothly. Personally for myself though, I’m still working on having a more abundance-oriented mindset. Now that I have worked through the fears and worries, I’m trying to get rid of the thought that the obstacles that I now face on my way to more abundance, are permanent. They are not. I know they aren’t because so much has changed I never thought would. Anyway, that was a good article and a simple yet profound revelation like you said!! Awesome!
