I Can See All the Obstacles in My Way

Obstacles, whether overcome or not, allow for growth and wisdom. They make us stronger. If we do not overcome, we still might become stronger by standing still; steadfast. And if we trip and fall, we most likely will eventually get up. Obstacles we cannot conquer alone, often push us to seek help. Hence, the lesson to learn is:

1. Assistance helps curb excess pride
2. We learn who we can count on
3. We recognize our limitations
4. God can be glorified if we seek His help
5. We might consider a different direction. Was this the right path to start out with? 
6. Timing. Time is everything. The right thing at the wrong time is not right at all  

 Of course, in retrospect, after we rise above the challenge, one might notice:

1. We develop new skills
   
2. We exercise existing skills an improve proficiency
3. Build self confidence
4. Raise levels of trust in God, family, friends, methods and systems. Or what not to trust...
   
5. The next time we run into a similar hindrance, we know how to succeed
6. We're able to understand, teach and help others. 

So, true is the proverb: "That which does not kill me makes me stronger."
