We get angry when something slows us down, holds us back, or boxes us in.
Resistance feels like a waste of time and energy.
Our very freedom feels pinched.
We mutter: “Without all these obstacles, life would be so much better.”
But would it? Take these:
Soil's pushback lets us walk and run.
Lifting weights strengthens muscles, bones, and ligaments.
An opponent returning the ball makes the game interesting.
A needle scratches hard through lacquer to create an etching.
A stubborn dilemma, in the end, gives birth to a fresh insight.
It seems obstacles annoy us before and delight us after.
They trip us up until they are integrated into our life.
So let's hurry the question: "What good will this snag bring me?"
Yours sincerely,
-Alexander
