Life's Path

It's funny isn't it how life takes you some times. Just when you think you have found the right path to your goal, an obstacle appears to be in the way and stops you dead. Now you have to make a decision as to whether you give up and go back (not my idea of an option), go around it or go over it and continue on. The trouble is that we can't see where exactly the path is taking us as we can not see around the corner. So we have to keep our goal in mind, crank up on faith and courage and find a way of dealing with the obstacle.
Sometimes when we face the obstacle squarely (especially as obstacles are often fear) it goes away. Alternatively we think of an answer that we had not thought of before that leads us further down the path towards our goal; realizing that what we thought was an obstacle in fact was just a broken branch and of no consequence at all.
