How can Obstacles and Roadblocks be useful?
Pick up a weightlifting bar without weights- you won’t get bigger or stronger.
Jog a 300 meter track with no intensity or focus- you won’t get faster.
Take a class to learn material that you already know- you won’t get smarter.
Here is the point…growth comes from things, people, and situations that causes us discomfort. The moment when we feel like we don’t know what to do, when we don’t know where to go, when we have to step back and take a moment to think about “what next”, that’s when we start to grow.
This is why it is so important that we not despise obstacles and road blocks. Although, they are challenging, although they appear to be too difficult at times, although they can bring bruises and pains with them, they are essential for growth. I know…they don’t feel good during the process, but look back after the challenge has been completed or the road block has been overcome and what do you see? Growth.
So, next time things get hectic, next time you feel like a situation is tough, next time you have to deal with difficult people, instead of complaining- rejoice because you are growing.
