An obstacle is something that impedes our progress or achievement. Obstacles come in all kinds of forms and are as individualized as everything else that occurs in our lives. The key word in the quote by Grant Frazier is not obstacle, but “illusions.”
Once we set off down the path to realize our dreams, we must test every obstacle we meet to determine where the illusion begins. It may be that what we thought was insurmountable will turn out to be a minor bump in the road.
So true! And yay, I learned how to post a comment!
ReplyDeleteI think there's always an obstacle, and in a way that's good. It makes us strive harder. Right now my obstacle is time. I need more of it.
ReplyDelete"When I began writing today’s blog, I categorized true obstacles as those that are beyond our control, and obstacle illusions as those we actually have some control over."
ReplyDeleteI like this.
Obstacle illusions are the ones like "not having time to write" but I do.. if I'd just stop watching Investigation Discovery for an hour!
Thanks for this post.

Thank you all for visiting the blog and your comments. And welcome, Kelly, to the Motivation for Creation Blogsite! I agree about time - there is never enough - and I am much like Darlene where (especially if things are a little hard in the writing) I'll let anything less hard distract me!
