Obstacles are designed to stop us, however it remains our choice to be stopped. No matter how massive the challenge is, our mindset is critical to overcoming any barrier whatsoever. It must be clear to us that the only thing that can halt our advancement is within us. Obstacles are no match for the resolved mind.
For example, many years ago, I really wanted to become a professional footballer (Women's Soccer), but no one I knew that could help supported me except one. I needed all the encouragement I could get but it wasn't available, so I made up my mind to do it all the same. I joined a women's football club and started playing and within a short while I stood out as an exceptional player. Everyone around suddenly became so proud of me.
I eventually had to stop playing because I had to choose between football and university, of which I chose the later. To tell you the truth at this point, I don't know if I was right or wrong.The point I'm trying to make here is inspite of opposition, you can fulfill your dreams with uttermost confidence. I was able to play for sometime in a football club even if everyone close to me thought it didn't make sense and it was an awesome experience. We are therfore the architects of what we eventually become.
