A path without obstacles doesn't lead anywhere!

A path without obstacles doesn't lead anywhere!

Frank A Clark said, "If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." Life never presents itself without a root to trip over, or a bump to stumble upon, or a seed to cause us to choke on. Life is not about a smooth ride, a fantasy of this or that, but a road that will allow us to overcome “any obstacle”, we encounter. Those obstacles are what make us stronger in the long run while a smooth unfettered road does not have the same effect.

In the history of the great men and women of our past we have always seen how they overcame hardships, overcame life and death situations and raised awareness of those around them. Though to overcome is not the only benefit we arrive at…most of the time that benefit happens to them personally and only after their lives ...will find others wondering about the road they walked and what they found.

Now imaging sitting on a beach in the sun and having a chilled beer whenever we wished further about how our great lives have been, that would be nice to imagine…and to actually do..but for how long? Eventually we would get bored and look or something to stumble over. Therefore even we prefer life full of opportunities and challenges to take on our capacity and intellect how we overcome the race full of obstacles.

It is said that in life if there is nothing lost but everything is there to gain. Have there been those who succumbed to the pitfall of their lives…countless millions have, history has written of their disasters whereas on many fronts and in many times past. While the present is not being withheld of those who have succumbed to life one way or another.

Whenever any guy says life is full of hardships, it is always right, but there is no need to keep the hardships for the next generation of course, if you could take one away, the following people are getting easily to where you reached and even surpass you. if we were stuck with those obstacles we would have never developed agriculture. “why i would try to make it easier to next gen to feed themselves, they should show me they worth” is a path to demise, also “why i am going to get food from this nice field, i am going to scavenge in bears nests” is also a fools way!

In this life you are born with some baggage, you make the best you can to help you and your kin and the you left this world to the heavens or oblivion knowing you made your best effort to keep the world spinning or to further the reach of our capabilities, only “fools” are going to blame you if you use every advantage you could get (without destroying the others) to further your own limit (dragging everyone behind) and no one is going to cheer on you if you only pick the hardest way to do the things.

We realised that you should only go as far as you can, but some obstacles are meant to be cleared and others avoided until someone can clear them. you should not pick the hardest way only to prove yourself to others like this guy Che Guevara says. It is because the human mind can be developed to such a massive extent, those who put in the most effort tend to succeed.

We agree that talent always counts. But the talent must be both developed and applied properly. By applying your skills in the real world always requires effort and expending mental and/or physical energy, channelising your motivation. Where the reward is great (money, recognition, sense of accomplishment or prestige) there will always be competition. Always learn to look at the most formidable obstacles to success which will keep challenging you. Stay blessed! #kishoreshintre

Kishore Shintre and yet again I enjoyed this read, very well said. I totally agree with you life without obstacles is life in lala land. Nobody's life is smooth sailing we all go through the motions - some days are up and others not to good but we come out all the more stronger to meet another obstacle head on. Enjoy your day my dear friend and looking forward to another great post by you??

Very well articulated Sir. I completely agree with you that difficult roads lead to beautiful destination. Thanks for this great share. Kishore Shintre
