Its common to question the meaning of obstacles that present one after the other and may feel overwhelming. Where do they come from ?
Obstacles are simply self-created limitations or challenges that you create for yourself to stretch into and engage more of your capacities so you grow.
Consider four ehowtwo tips to move beyond limitations.
1. Shift from the ego to soul perspective.
Whatever your situation, ego judges everything through filters of fear. It sees problems and worries, and works toward a light at the end of the tunnel. Your psychological drama is mistaken for life. Soul recognizes the old must fall away to make room for the new. Soul sees no tunnel. If relationships fall apart, if you lose your job or if some environmental storm damages your property, Soul sees all of it as more of what you outgrow dissolving to reveal what you are not yet seeing clearly. Being able to see everything as it is and accept it as it is, is about accepting positive and negative views on everything. Its about creating detachment or distance from every event.
2. See beyond linear time.
A key hindrance lies in our idea of, and addiction to time, in our habit of anticipating a future in light of the past. If you focus on history and assume it must repeat, then your life process cannot grow. Every moment can feel fresh and new and be felt as a tremendous possibility. Today, what you are is not the point. Seeing beyond linear time is creating this moment as a privilege. You are worthy of being given a choice about how you live. Exercise the privilege consciously.
3. Stop talking about more than one version of you.
Some voice within you echoes you could do better, be better or find a situation better suited to you. There cannot be two selves in one body. That is to say, there is no better or worse you, no more or less talented you. All kinds of states of mind and dreams present and you choose which to identify with. How you see yourself is what manifests in your experience. How much you love yourself or fear success and true greatness affects what appears in your experience. The witness creates the person and thinks itself separate from it. The witness sees that the person appears in consciousness.
4. Evolve into your humanity.
Each person can have something different going on in the mind. You must be able to switch off the made up world to see another reality. If you can identify what is real and what is made up, this is a spiritual process, a deeper understanding of who you are. You can choose love, misery, issues, its up to you. Choose consciously the nature of your experience. Being in a state of compulsive reaction is a backward step in evolution. Being conscious is what distinguishes you as a human being and allows a sense of inclusiveness to resonate and shape your existence.
