Obstacles As you think so you become
Whatever we repeat over and over to ourselves is what we become. To overcome the obstacle of life, not only do we need to take action, but we also need to think and repeat words that keep us focused and aligned, which means to create balance. There are nine major obstacles: ill health, boredom and apathy, self-doubt, distractions and carelessness, feeling heavy and burnt-out, doubting one’s progress, getting caught in the illusion of life and an inability to a maintain a practice.
To over comes these requires alignment with life, focusing the mind and remembering to take a breath and let go. As you think so you become; so, to overcome the nine obstacles think; health, enthusiasm, self-worth, focus, lightness, progress, reality, and dedication.
Let us get started
END: Cravings, desires, distractions, and carelessness. When it comes to balancing your lives, alignment and focus are needed. This means to align yourself with the positive side of life. Keep your focus on the things that are important because what you align yourself with and what you focus on is what you become. Just remember; as you think so you become
Many obstacles are put in our way purposely to make us understand and express our own capacities. We all have the strength to over comes them, but we do not always seem to know it. We need to be challenged and tested to know our own capacity. That is the natural law of life. Like a river if it flows with out any obstructions it has no power. But once we put an obstacle in it flow by constructing a dam it finds the strength to produce power. Be like the river. As you think so you become.
EGO: Flip your palm up and extend the index finger – the symbol of the ego. Unawareness which yoga calls ignorance creates egoism. This creates a clinging to obstacles. That is why we need to continually practice letting go and finding balance in our lives. Life will always present us with obstacles. How we think, act, and speak determines whether we succumb to them or overcome them. Pull your finger in and place your thumb on top. Take a moment to surrender to the soul. The soul is the I that sits atop the me and it reminds us of our true nature; we all have the inner strength to overcome life’s obstacles. In life there will always be obstacle. Connect to your soul and you will master them. Remember; as you think so you become; think health, enthusiasm, self-worth, focus, lightness, progress, reality and dedication.
Next week we will begin to work on the qualities or characteristics needed to overcome life’s obstacles.
Namaste~ may you walk the path of life with health, happiness, and peace
