I read something recently that said something along the lines of, ‘the obstacles are part of the journey. There will always be obstacles in the path. The practice is navigating around them.”
Everything wants to get in your way-no matter the goal. But the exercise of knowing there will be obstacles, and then getting around whatever obstacles present themselves open a whole new piece of your practice.
What if the goal wasn’t ‘getting on the mat’ but ‘getting around the thing in the way of the mat?’
Take one step back to see what you can see,
