Life is a journey and as with any journey it can present its share of obstacles and barriers. As long as we’re breathing, obstacles and barriers will be a part of our human experience. It’s how we relate to lớn our obstacles and barriers that dictates the quality of our human experience.

One of the most unfortunate mistakes we can make in this life is to lớn relate to lớn our obstacles as barriers.
Yet, I’ve seen evidence of this mistake being made by ví many of us.
Thus, the goal of this post will be to lớn clarify the subtle and sometimes significant difference between life’s obstacles and it’s barriers.
Let’s start by defining the two words in question:
Obstacle:
—noun
something that obstructs or hinders progress.
Barrier:
—noun
anything built or serving to lớn bar passage, as a railing, fence, or the lượt thích.
Often when we encounter difficult circumstances, they may produce an emotional reaction that causes us to lớn interpret these situations as barriers, but most of the time it’s just an obstacle.
Here’s a simple way to lớn distinguish the difference:
- What ever slows down your progress is an obstacle.
- What ever impedes or stops your ability to lớn progress, is a barrier.
For example, a bad quấn is an obstacle.
He or she may periodically hinder your progress but you can always choose a detour. Instead of suffering under their poor leadership you could simply choose to lớn find a new job.
As long as you have options, your difficult circumstance is an obstacle; regardless of whether you use the options or not.
Choosing to lớn stop and suffer is your choice, it is not a barrier.
An example of a barrier, is illiteracy.
Until this type of barrier is addressed through persistence, consistency and hard work someone who is illiterate will not be able to lớn read.
There are no other options for knowing how to lớn read other than vãn learning how to lớn read.

Audio books are listening; they are not reading. Until a person who cannot read learns to lớn read, they will never read. There is no other option.
Here’s the take away…
If you’ve been thinking that boyfriend/girlfriend of yours is a barrier, think again…he/she is an obstacle.
Might be time to lớn refocus your emotional lens and leave that obstacle behind you.
Most of the difficult situations and circumstances we are presented in life are difficult because they present us with a difficult choice.
Consequently we are stopped by our fear of choosing, (which is typically created by the fear of making the wrong decision) rather than vãn the circumstance or situation itself.
In the future, begin noticing where you get stopped in your life and start taking the time to lớn distinguish whether you’re confronted by an obstacle or a barrier.
If it’s an obstacle, make a powerful choice (insert spin move or side step) and keep moving.
If it’s a barrier, identify what’s on the other side and address your barrier with a stubborn resolve to lớn reach your goal.
With persistence, focus and consistency any barrier can be overcome.
Inspiration helps too, ví remember to lớn stay inspired, it’s a lifestyle choice.
