Hey Guys👋
Ever had blurry eyes?
No, not with your physical eyes but with your meta eyes that see your goals and your future?
Where you cannot see the path clearly and the far end looks kinda blurry?
The funny part is, you don’t need to have clear eyes.
If you have myopia or short-sightedness, you will get this point better.
As you move closer to something, it starts getting clearer.
But when you are far away, your vision kinda sucks.
The first lesson that you can extract from this is…
It’s okay to have myopic eyes when looking for a long-term goal. You will gain clarity as you get closer.
This is where obstacles come into play - when you are getting closer.
Obstacles help you in two ways.
One, when you have myopia and the person 20 meters away looks blurry, then anyone who stands between both of you would appear clearer than the one at the far end.
Meaning, the obstacle allows you to realize your own vision.
It lets you see how far you can focus.
It gives you the knowledge of where you are lacking and where you are missing out.
The second way obstacles can help is that they can act as a redirecting partner or a guide.
It shapes the way you are destined for your existence. The true path for your life is molded by the channels that are disguised as obstacles and hardships.
The second lesson?
Obstacles allow you to perceive how far your vision can focus; giving you clarity in your views and thoughts. They are disguised sculptors of one’s destined life.
