I wish you plenty of obstacles in your road,
for obstacles help us to learn more than anything
else. May the obstacles never be too overwhelming
for you, and may you always find the strength to deal with
them inside yourself. As the saying goes,
"Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors," and
we would do well to learn more life skills in order to
improve our own lives and to be able to help others to
overcome some of the obstacles that they encounter.

I wish
you the ability to recognize obstacles for what they are:
either impenetrable barriers that should cause us to choose
another path, or hindrances that can be overcome with patience
and perseverance. Too often, people confuse the two and
end up wasting time, energy, and spirit trying to attain
something that truly is unattainable, or giving up at the first
sign of resistance that they encounter in their paths. But
may you not be too quick to jump to a judgment as to which is
which--very often, things that we think at the outset are one,
end up being the other.

I wish you
plenty of company and companionship with people who will be able
to help you to overcome the obstacles in your way, for only
through accepting help from others can we learn truly to help
others. The giving heart must be able and willing to take,
and if we don't allow others the chance to help us, we're
robbing them of the opportunity to grow and to change through
giving. We're taking away from them the sense of
satisfaction and fulfillment that comes from having helped a
fellow human being in need. May you never allow pride to
keep you from letting others give you help, no matter how slight
the help may be. |
