"When one faces obstacles.....in ones Spiritual path...do you...?
I have some answers within but am hoping for some new wisdom from others who understand....Smilies...
If we understand that obstacles are part of the spiritual path, we can learn from them. Obstacles can be messages, signals that we need to wake up and look at what is going on.
There are outer, inner, and secret obstacles. An outer obstacle is anything in the external world that distracts us from our development as a practitioner.
Obstacles on the inner level have to do with our practice. The most common inner obstacle is concept which sway us from the path.If we become possessed by anger, vindictiveness, jealousy, ambition, or desire, our progress will be hindered.
Obstacles on the secret level have to do with view. If our mind is seized by doubt it is difficult to practice, and even when we do meditate we are not going to make any progress.
On every level, the basic antidote is mindfulness,practice,awareness, and certainty in the view.Practicing regularly, cultivating peace and loving-kindness, and renewing our inspiration are the key elements in working with obstacles

Obstacle along the road
Overcome Obstacles? Sure You Can Do it
Dont let anything stand in your way!
You can get past any obstacle that stands in your way! Read on to find out how
Every comes up against problems in life whether it's related to our family, peers, money, work, conflict, or sickness. There are always plenty of things that we want, but there are always challenges or obstacles that we must overcome before we succeed.
Dont give up on your dreams! Instead of thinking negatively why not take a minute and figure out how you can overcome your obstacles, so they can become part of your ultimate success story? After all, the biggest obstacles can serve to strengthen us and make the victory ceremony that much sweeter!
Be like Nike and Just Do It! Jump over the hurdles and you will hit the success finish line sooner!
Now if there were no brickwalls along our life journey we would all be living in heaven! The real success stories all start with some sort of problem, failure or obstacle. The truth is, there is always going to be things that stand in our way. This is precisely why we all have a choice and your choices will make or break you, so give them adequate thought: we can choose to believe we can overcome any obstacles, or we can choose to give up. Everything always starts with a choice.
You need to set some attainable goals to start to overcome your obstacles!
Can you set attainable and realistic goals? If so, you can leap over the obstacles that are in your way and roll on down the road to success. Another great way to move past obstacles is to set reasonable goals as you will then have a decent timeline to march on with regardless of what crops up to get in the way. Use prioritization and organizational qualities that are within you to set yourself on the fast track.
Setting goals is a very important step if you want to overcoming obstacles because you can envision your future and create something concrete to work for. Understandably, most people become apprehensive when they see barriers standing in their way, but success comes from pushing through. You dont want to be someone who can only see the obstacles but don't see the goal at the end of their journey. Sadly, they give up before they ever really get get started. The bonus is - this doesn't have to be you!
Eat an Elephant one bite at a time!
Mini goals on the way to 'the big one' will often help people see the obstacles they thought existed don't really exist at all, or they were just not as big as they first thought. Im sure you've heard this before: there's no need to make a mountain of a molehill!
On the other hand, if your obstacles are significant ones, you may find it beneficial to break these obstacles down into mini goals. When you set attainable, realistic goals you are breaking the obstacles into manageable bite-sized pieces that you can overcome one at a time.
For example, if you need a college degree to meet your ultimate goal, consider the application process as your first mini goal and move forward from there, one step at a time.
My regular readers will know Im very big on "Using Affirmations and Positive Self-Talk to Break Down Mental Barriers"
Getting past your obstacles or doing anything at all really, is so much easier when you have a positive mindset. Affirmations and positive self-talk help you program your mind for success and it really does work! For example, you may find it easier to move forward with your goals if you said, "I am capable of succeeding without feeling overwhelmed or unfulfilled." By implementing affirmations you will create a positive inner dialogue so you can overcome any obstacle with confidence and purpose.

These letters are wonderful testimonies to the work of Peace Corps and the character of the volunteers who choose to serve. May God grant peace to Guinea over these next days, weeks and months that the work will once more forge ahead. Remember: If you're traveling a road with no obstacles in your path, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

[...] Altman & Altman wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptNow it might do this, or it might just give teenagers a false belief of being good at drunk driving (given that the road and obstacles will be different on your home road).

I agree with Julie… Here in Seattle, new laws are in-the-making that force cyclists to always ride “as far to the right as is safe”, where “safe” includes variation(s) for the condition of road (broken pavement, manhole covers which are slippery on our wet streets, and so forth), with sufficient space to not win any door-prizes, and what I see is perhaps the most important of all — enough space to occupy the lane.I think there’s a fundamental misunderstanding between cyclists and drivers; cyclists often “do their best to stay out of the way of faster traffic”, but in so doing they marginalize themselves to virtual road-obstacles to someone trying to share the lane. I believe the spirit of multi-use means sharing the road, not necessarily sharing the lane – if I’m cycling in the right lane, that lane is therefore OCCUPIED. As an experienced cyclist in a large city, I encourage other cyclists to occupy their lane whenever possible (obviously not when on a 1-lane road). In order for a car to pass, they MUST do it safely by changing lanes at that point — and if they don’t I’m more than happy to snap a shot of their plate with my phone and visit the closest law enforcement office. There’s nothing like a ticket to teach drivers that lanes don’t “belong” to them just because they’re faster and wider than a bike.

I’ve been bicycling for more than 30 years almost daily. I’ve never hit a person or animal, but I have been hit/hospitalized by a cab running a red light. This occurred when I was paying attention only to lights and street signs: the law. Now I pay attention only to people (in vehicles, on streets, sidewalks, jaywalking, etc.) and animals, not lights and signs. I ride the ‘wrong way’, (to avoid the steepest hills, road obstacles. etc.) on sidewalks, through lights, using commonsense to survive, protect all creatures and reach my destination. This works well. I haven’t been injured nor caused injury since.
