The term obstacle could be seen as derogatory for success. There really isn't no success without obstacles, not because life is just hard but because it was made to be so. Alot of times we are poised to believe our obstacles define the level of our success... Well, not really. Success and obstacles go hand in hand, but, you might just need to scratch the surface and an obstacle becomes your success story. Whereas, someone else needs to dig deeper, and clear the bushes before even having a glimpse of what success may look like. Time plays the protagonist, and the antagonist which we really do not see. "It's all in time". Why? You might ask. It is simply because we are measured, and guided by it. My greatest obstacle is more than one. They are so numerous a (500) paged novel may not be able to do justice. The truth I came in contact with which I share is oneness with time. You see, time starts to tick immediately you enlisted into the legions of "sperms" about to be gushed out into your mom. You already started running with the clock, trying to get to the ovary as quickly as possible to quickly fertilize. Time beats every other sperm, once one sperm gets to fertilize the egg and then the rest wither away-like a leaf loosing it's grip to a tree. Onwards you go chasing after time in the form of so many things. It is called "Obstacles", and also "Success" to many. Ever wondered why billionaires never stop trying to retain their positions, or the young teenager wanting so bad to be an adult, is it the adult wanting to be a teenager once again so bad, or the worker trying so hard to be a boss. The athletes strive to remain in shape, whilst the politicians never want to loose power. Analytically, it's all deposited in time, not the shame nor the fame. Time is what it is. Everyday opportunity comes by, you either take it or leave it, that's time. One child could start saving whilst a toddler, another begins when an adult. Another never saves, and becomes richer than both. Time my friend is where it is all buried. The success you have today, or that which you shall have is buried in time, Obstacles are part of the process. Time is your only way to success, and the only way to succeed! Time is in itself "obstacles". There really isn't "overcoming obstacles" without time!
