Switching Tracks

By Glennel Hardy

On occasion we can set our mind to accomplish those things that we envision within ourselves.  At times though we find, that as we journey towards the goal, we are forced to switch tracks, and have to set a new course. There is an obstacle that is placed before us, that prevents us to proceed down the original track.

When we come across an obstacle, there is generally a side track which will allow us a way around the obstacle, and we discover a new way to reach our destination.  The best things in life are those that come along with obstacles, which in return allows us a new way to discover an opportunity to succeed. An obstacle’s duty is not to make it easy, but to make us become wiser and to take us from average to extraordinary.
