The opportune obstacles!

"When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you, and be a loser. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure." - Mary Kay Ash

What is your view of the idea that every obstacle can be turned into an opportunity?

“You are stronger than you think and bolder than you believe yourself to be.” What lies ahead of us  and what has passed are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Some call it the snoring serpent, others call it Christ. Call it what you will but the entire energy of this infinite universe has been converged to an iridescent spot within this marvelous human form. To it nothing is impossible; even the obstacles can be converted to opportunities.

“Say to the yonder mountain, be thy removed and it shall be and nothing is impossible unto you.” Bible in its unfathomable wisdom reveals that humans are invincible, redoubtable creatures but their very nature. To such an obstinate will the seemingly indomitable obstacles cannot in a millennium serve as a deterrent. The positive outlook and the desire to grow, in its scintillating pencil of photons, makes the obstacles shine as a prospective opportunity.

The epitome of love and devotion Meera, in her unshakable fidelity towards lord Krishna, turned the noxious poison into a cup of elixir. At the verge of extreme passion does one transcend the limitations of physical barriers and enters into a dimensionally larger world where he or she experiences utter freedom and eternity where even the slightest shadow of an impediment is not palpable. Hence it is possible to turn an obstacle into opportunity.

The effervescent is not put down even but the most heart-breaking of the hindrances. He looks at every obstacle as a challenge to outgrow his present skin of limitation as does a snake! He endeavors consciously to awaken the giant within him while the cynical in his myopic and rotten outlook towards the world has got the nerve to transform even the opportunity into an obstacle!

 The number of permutations in this universe are practically infinite, and with the possibilities for individuals. To a will that obdurately fastens itself to an ideal, hauls it to the point of asphyxiation, unto it be glory! Such a person in his life full of cheerful optimism is able to focus on the odorous roses instead of focusing upon the prickly thistles.
