Caution! Road Block Ahead
by CHICKMELIONfreelance
Don’t curse the obstacles in your life. Have you ever seen a roadblock set up for no reason? Don’t curse your luck for coming across obstacles. Or for having to slow down for one. They are there for your best interests. Do however bless your luck because something big is about to happen. Yes, change is in the wind! Get excited about it. As they say, “a change is as good as a holiday if you can’t afford one.”
Overcoming roadblocks and obstacles may be as simple as changing your mind’s perception of what is ahead of you, with a logic that defies gravity. To view your position not as insurmountable which is just an initial observation, but to see the blessing that is held within. Taking the time to absorb all relevant angles, so that your eyes are open to the full spectrum of what it is before you and not just what you see on the surface. Not all obstacles mean you need to turn back, but you do need to slow down enough to determine the appropriate action for the situation. You do need to formulate a plan.
Obstacles are appropriately placed caution signals for you to keep your head up and your eyes open. With the right attitude they are also opportunities. And because your head is up and your eyes are open, they are not going to be missed opportunities. Whether it was the saving grace of avoiding a disaster; or experience gained in maneuvering around the obstacle, which may have forced you to slow down enough to formulate an effective winning plan, (as opposed to flying by the seat of your pants;) or perhaps even adding to a greater appreciation for a desire gained that the obstacle momentarily held up. Ah! The sweet taste of victory. Finally an obstacle may signal that you have arrived prematurely to a point in your life, not fully armed with what your require to successfully continue with your journey. Where the obstacle it’s self provides an opportunity for apprenticeship.
It is a matter of overcoming limited thinking when it comes to what ever you are facing. Thoughts are very powerful, because they become accepted by our subconscious mind. Once that happens our whole mind set changes and gears it’s self towards the thoughts adopted. Habits and actions follow suit. By changing out thoughts and mental images we can change our reality and how we act and react to it. In addition, thoughts travel from one mind to another and if they are strong enough, they can be unconsciously picked up by people who can help you materialize your victory over the obstacle.
It has been said that nothing bad comes from heaven and if something seems to appears in a negative form before you, it is a blessing yet to unfold. If you can gear your thinking to seek the positive in any and every situation, your life and your world becomes enveloped in richness and depth. Then you see your obstacle for what it is. What price do you put towards your experience over the years? Where do you attribute your courage and strength from?
It is your duty to stop and read the signs and own the blessings contained within. They were given to you as gifts.
