Obstacle

 Life has obstacles. or maybe not.  What?  Well, what if the obstacle is really a way to a solution.  Your doc and/or your body says that you cannot jog anymore.  "I will show you!" I say.  I go and jog anyway, with some more stretching, new shoes, whatever.  It is downhill from there.  You become a complete mess, and maybe surgery, new body parts, and so on.  The bionic solution did not work.  In fact, not being able to do something, opens up new possibilities to replace that loss with something new.  Ok, walking is for wimps.  But you give it a shot, or you swim or elliptical bike.  Maybe pickle ball, or maybe not.  On a spiritual path, obstacles open up new possibilities.
