Road Blocks or Hurdles?
As I travel the road we call life with all of it's twists and turns I keep questioning my decisions. I was telling Em the other day that I feel like every time I make up my mind about something and start to pursue it I run into a road block. For instance when I started signing up for classes my residency was an issue so I went to get my drivers license changed and their machine broke so I couldn't get it that day. Then I found out that I can't even get selected for the degree I want until the fall of 2010 but first I have to complete all of my general education classes with a B or higher by February 1st which is not possible. These are only a few of the "road blocks" I am referring to. This has had me puzzled and confused about whether or not I am on the right path. I wonder if it's God trying to detour me or the Devil trying to stop me from bettering my life. I realized they may not be road blocks at all but hurdles. I think the difference is not the obstacle but my perspective. If I look at problems as road blocks that is what they will be to me but if I look at them as hurdles simply testing my desires they will actually strengthen me. I have come to the understanding that adversity is the parent of virtue.

What a great realization. Our perspective really does change everything.
