Okay , this topic is good . I love a new way of overcoming obstacles . I can't remember where I heard it , when I heard it , who said it , what context it was in , but someone once , somewhere , said that we are all just one perspective shift away from a different life .
We are all just one perspective shift away from an entirely different life , and we get to choose that perspective .
That's the beautiful thing about life is its choice , and so when we look at obstacles , we get to choose how we view them , and that ties directly into being one perspective shift away Is that perhaps obstacles aren't these brick walls or these things that are standing in our way from getting what we want . They aren't necessarily bad things .
Right , we get to choose whether or not we view it as a bad thing , as a difficult thing , as a hard thing , or a good thing , as a positive thing , as something to be filled with gratitude for .
I once heard Gabby Bernstein say that obstacles are detours in the right direction , that perhaps we get to look at it from a lens of this is life , ensuring that I'm fulfilling all my purpose , that I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing here on this earth , on this planet .
When I think about all of the difficult things that have come up in my life , all of the obstacles that I've gone through , and I look back at them . I'm like , are they really obstacles , or did that happen to serve the future me in some much greater capacity that I never would have understood back at that moment in time ?
But when I look back now I'm like , yeah , man , if that hadn't happened , my life would have been totally different , right ?
So I think , once we accept the concept that obstacles are not these bad things , that we actually have the choice in how we view them , that we can actually be at peace or we can actually live in ease and knowing that a new direction will ultimately be revealed to us . That's much better , that's much greater than we could have ever imagined .
And I think I shared this on a Monday mindset in the past that I once heard somebody say to ask yourself of like it's this or something better ? Or to say to yourself , it's this or something better ? Or to ask how much better can it get ? And the answer is a whole heck of a lot .
But that is also perspective , that is also our choice , and I think , unfortunately , so many of us live in a victim mentality , that life is happening to us . I've talked about this before . Your life fundamentally begins to shift if you are able to lean into and step into and start to believe that life happens for us .
I always say to myself this is happening for me , this is happening in my favor .
Right , we live in a benevolent universe , and when we operate from love and when we come from a place of love as opposed to a place of fear , we can live in peace , we can live in ease and we can be okay with the obstacles that inevitably come up , because it's life , just a part of life .
But what we have control over is how we choose to view that , and so I invite you to consider what your life would look like if you chose to view obstacles as a positive , as a thing that is actually pointing you in the right direction , to the you that you are supposed to become , to the you that you get to become , to the you that has a life that
happens for you . So I really hope that this episode serves you and we will see you guys next week on the podcast . Here's to another great week of living intentionally .
