Read this, it's for you!

Life is a long road full of surprises. It’s up to us and our imagination to try to see things as objectively as possible. In this way, the obstacles we encounter will be placed at our disposal.

What I mean by this is that obstacles are instruments that are presented to us in life so that we can achieve our ideas, because we establish mechanisms to achieve short and medium term achievements but then arise what we call obstacles, which get in the way of our achievements.

It’s when our mind is disturbed because the obstacles managed to get us out of our linear thinking that we now have a problem, it clouds our mind, makes us feel stressed, prevents us from moving forward with the next planned idea. Because now we have to fight against this obstacle in order to go ahead with the first thing.

But let me tell you, what if we look at this obstacle from another perspective? What if this stone on the road is just helping us to move forward?

Let me explain... sometimes we believe that when problems arise in the path of our plans this means that we must deviate from our objectives and look for the solution to a different problem. We get stunned, we tend to say that it’s just bad luck, or the good old “why is this happening to me!?” And a lot of negative things are swirling in our minds that don’t allow us to see clearly.

See clearly? Yes, we need to see clearly... because this problem that we had not thought about has arrived to help us so that our first objective is promoted in a better plane.

By solving this inconvenience and others that will arise, what we achieve is to get more strength. The tools that we obtain in the long run help us to achieve the primary objective, but with a stronger base.

Have you ever thought about what happens after you have completed your plans? After a long struggle to achieve your objectives that now everything is more consistent. That everything has been achieved efficiently at the end of the day…

And in some cases people have come to think that thanks to those obstacles that were inadequately presented, according to us, they have contributed to the final achievement.

Therefore, isn't it better to think that the universe helps us to achieve things better than we have planned?

I don't know how you may see it. But in my long life, thank God, I have been able to realize that the obstacles are in our mind, that we have to let things flow, because everything that comes up has a proper solution, in its due time, without feeling bad for the time we supposedly lost. For the impediments caused by the obstacle encountered.

 In the end, if you are busy trying to forge a better life for yourself, everything that comes along will be to strengthen it. And if instead things change your destiny, this also happens to strengthen and enrich your life.

Because life does not want you to be frustrated, life fights for you to be a well-formed being. The universe conspires for us to be happy, so that we take tools from what we call failures to continue strengthening ourselves.

Now I'll explain with an example.

Katie is a hard working girl. She’s an accountant and has a good resume. Her friend Jenny has told her that she will take her resume to the Maxi store. This store is looking for employees, specifically an accountant. Her friend Jenny has told her to bring her resume because she knows how good Katie is as a professional.

Katie knows she has a better track record than Jenny and if she brings her resume Jenny has less of a chance to get a job, but they are still friends and they both go to introduce their documents the next day.

Katie is desperate, even with her experience she hasn't found a good job but today she sets out to get one. She takes her cab, the place is out of the way but she’ll go in good time. It's the last day to get the documents in and God knows how much trouble she has gone through to get all the paperwork required for this job.

Katie has spent her last savings to get her resume done. On the way, a problem arises. Another speeding car hits Katie's cab. She has a bump on her forehead, she hits her head on the car window.

The driver of the car tells her that he must go examine her forehead because it’s growing and changing color, Wwhile he has to stay there to wait for the accident to be reported.

Katie goes to the clinic. She sits in the doctor's office waiting to be evaluated. After a while a conversation arises with another patient who is there waiting.

After they both talk about their problems, it’s Katie's turn to talk about her bad luck. The lady listens to her and at the end recommends her to introduce her resume at the clinic. They always need outstanding professionals there, from what Katie says, she’s very good at what she does.

Katie spent the day in tears and complaining about her bad luck, the next day her friend Jenny arrives and tells her that when they saw her resume she was immediately hired. Katie is thrilled for her friend but still complains about her bad luck. She knows that if she had the chance, things would be different for Jenny, but she wishes her friend luck.

After a few days, the situation is very sad for Katie. No money and just complaining about her bad financial situation, she gets a call from the clinic where she was treated. They ask her to report to the human resources office as soon as possible.

Katie goes to the human resources office and is interviewed there. She is hired with a good pay and bonuses. Finally, Katie's attitude changes, they explain to her that the lady she met in the emergency room was the accountant, but in her office they asked her not to work for a few years and that she should leave her job immediately. The lady remembered Katie from emergencies and recommended her immediately.

She is thrilled, while at home, she receives a visit from her friend Jenny. She tells her that she is unemployed again, the Maxi store was placed under a garnishment for misappropriation of funds and non-payment. Jenny is out of work again.

That's when Katie realizes what happened. If the cab didn't have that accident she wouldn't have met that lady in the emergency room, she wouldn't have entered her resume there and maybe she would have made it to Maxi on time and they would have given her the job, to then fired her two weeks later.

It’s clear that now her thoughts are on everything she went through before, that she was unlucky and that she had a very sad life.

…Did I get the meaning of my post across? Sometimes things are not the way we want them to be, traumatic events happen, bad situations, all kinds of impediments for you to realize your plans. But the main idea is there, it just took another, better path for you. Everything was being prepared to give you a better chance in life!

With this I want to tell you what I pointed out to you at the beginning. The universe conspires for our success. You just have to allow yourself to see the positive in the negative and that will lead you to a calmer life, more leisurely and less dramatic.
