One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity. Albert Schweitzer

What does it feel like to run an obstacle course?

Well, if you’re reading this, then you are a participant in the greatest obstacle course ever made.

It’s called life.

Many of the obstacles you encounter will be unique to you. Some will be real, and others will be manufactured by your own psychology.

And as long as you’re alive, the obstacles will never stop.

They will come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Some you will be able to manage with ease, and others will take more practice and time.

Occasionally, it might look as though your fellow participants have easier obstacles than you do, but that’s rarely true.

Unfortunately, there’s no real way to avoid obstacles, and you’ll find that if you try, there’ll be another waiting for you around the corner.

The faster you learn to face and deal with your obstacles head-on, the more skilled you’ll become at handling new obstacles in the future.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, keep in mind that life is going to provide you with plenty of obstacles to deal with, so there’s no need to burden yourself further by making up your own obstacles in your mind.
