The Obstacle IS the Path

When things happen in a way that we don't want them to, often our habit is to avoid, resist, or feel blame or resentment towards them. This is understandable, but it also takes away an opportunity, an opportunity to look more closely at our reactions, why we react the way we do and to get to know ourselves more. And it's possible if we look closely enough that we might even see that the obstacle is in fact the path.
