Aiming is a social trend of our time. At numerous trainings, experienced gurus teach all comers how to achieve the goal, bypassing and overcoming obstacles, linking it with the notion of success.
But is it true that any obstacle requires overcoming? It can hardly be considered a success to overcome all the obstacles on the way to the airport and to be in time for a plane that will have a crash.
On the other hand, there are many examples where persistent overcoming of obstacles has led person to success.
I'll tell you a story from my life.
One winter, my wife and I returned home by car from a long trip. It was late at night. I was driving. I am a good driver, in this, the fact that I drove into the pit on the road and broke two wheels at once became a surprise for us. There was nothing to do, my husband took the wheels and drove to a nearby town by a passing car. It was difficult to find a tire fitting in a small town that worked at night.
He returned in the morning. We drove on. I must say that the road was very hilly. And so, having moved the first hill, we saw a huge truck standing across the road. It was obvious that it had been standing like this for several hours and that it was carrying down the icy slope of the hill. If we did not stay long on the road, our "meeting" with it would be very obvious.
You can talk about two kinds of obstacles in our life.
The first kind occurs when we are obviously moving in the wrong direction or doing something inappropriately, when we do not have enough energy or skills.
It is not necessary to overcome these obstacles. It is better to stop, because, overcoming them, you can find that you put a lot of effort to get to the "Titanic", floating on a meeting with an iceberg.
The second group of obstacles is related to the inertia of the surrounding world. They are like water resistance when we walk in a river. Overcoming these obstacles increases our adoption in society and makes us more successful.
The most difficult thing is to distinguish one type of obstacle from another. For example, in the TAROT cards, the Fourth of Pentacles means the first kind of obstacles, and the Nine of Wands - the second one.
But we can not run to the tarologist or astrologer every time when there are obstacles in our life. There is an easier way - the so-called "Rule of the third obstacle".
The first obstacle still does not show us anything and we always overcome it.
In the case of the first group of obstacles, we will see how they will become more and more "physical." The phone breaks when you want to call. Want to go - your car will not start. A woman can break a heel. I hope that after this you will stop and will not insist until break a leg (for ex).
In the second case, the obstacles will be distracting. Someone will call just to talk. You need to go on business, and friends call you to the movies. These obstacles can and must be overcome.
Take care of yourself and fight for achieving only those goals that fit your destiny.
