Overcome all Obstacles of Life

"Obstacles are put in your way to see

If what you want is really worth fighting for".

"Believe in yourself and all that you are,

Know that there is something inside you

That is greater than any obstacle".

Many a times, you run into unfortunate situations of life -such situations are out of your control. You can choose to feel sad, annoyed, angry or stressed about the situation or turn it around and focus on the positive parts of life. You can choose to be stuck in a bad or negative situation or let go, move on and start with a new series of positive opportunities in your life.

Rule of living an obstacle-free life
Let's learn from a failure or a bad experience and never repeat the same mistake. Every setback and bad situation in life teaches you something. Growth doesn't occur in comfort. You need to come out of your comfort zone to bring something great happen in your life. Take it as an opportunity to train your mind- to be stronger, more resilient, and more equipped - to be able to deal with things that life throws at you. There's an idiom - "A frog in the well" - which points out towards such people who can't / don't see the bigger picture around because of their narrow-mindedness or rather close-mindedness.

Most of the time you hold onto anger because you believe it would make the person you're mad at, upset and realize that they have done something wrong. But the fact, is that you are actually hanging up yourself on something that's burning you within. When you're mad at someone, the pain is onto yourself more than it is onto the person you're mad at. When you hate someone, the fire is within your own mind. No matter what one does to you -- hurt you, look down on you, underestimate you, backstab you, abuse you, or cheat you -- when you hold the hatred, you hold the hurt. Only when you learn to let go, you let your soul free from the pain. No matter what it was that caused them to take certain negative actions towards you, the best thing you can do is to "let go". It will be hard to do if you've never done it before. But slowly, one day at a time, be patient, let it go, forgive those who've done you wrong, you will feel that each day you get stronger and more powerful.
If you're struggling to "let go", start with meditation. Even meditation is hard because you need to control yourself. You need not think anything while meditating -- but that's the key! Being able to control one's thoughts and focus and keep one's mind at peace strengthens the mind's muscles -- this is the secret power of meditation.
The fire is only within you. The person you hate doesn't feel your hatred. "Let it go". "Let it go".
Many of us worry. We worry about our future -- about our career, health, living, finances, and about the people we love. We worry because we are scared - scared of losing them, scared of missing them. However, worrying doesn't make anything better unless we stop worrying and start taking actions towards our goals.  
According to Bhagwad Gita, briefly there can be 10 ways how to act, move on and take decisions in some of the most difficult situations occurring in our lives.
 
How to achieve Fruitful Success in Life
 
In every aspect of life, we find ourselves at the mid-way of two paths: Do & Don’t – What to do & what not to do?  What is righteous and what is evil? Which action will be fruitful for Self including others & which may prove to be fatal for Self & others? At such aspects of life, a faithful guide and a knowledgeable counselor is required to counsel us before performing such important tasks. At every important moment of our life, we are not able to find someone who is trustworthy, more knowledgeable than oneself, one who can foresee the positive as well as the other consequences of the action to be performed. Then, the question arises- who can be our perfect Guide? Who can undoubtfully and selfishlessly become our True Guide? Definitely, we find people who help us to overcome such situations or even obstacles. At various times, people guide, support and help us but at other times, they also, are not able to differentiate between the positive and negative impact/ consequences of a particular action. So, I always, from the core of my heart, feel that the best and perfect Guide can be only and only The Almighty Authority – The God. Believe me, the moment, we surrender ourselves to God- We completely become God’s responsibility and it is God’s task to guide us in His perfect, balanced and ever-accomplishing manner.  So, trust me, the Best and most righteous Guide and counselor is only “God”. God can only lead us to the most Righteous Decision.
Bhagwad Gita preaches to attain fruitful decisions in life and simultaneously to lead a life full of righteous actions which may prove to be a boon for the entire humanity and mankind- since God dwells in Man and Mankind.
