The Obstacle

Life can be hard
Days long
Responsibilities overwhelming
People difficult
Circumstances challenging.

Always a problem
Plans spoiled
People illogical.

We try to
Do our best
Perform
Get better
Push forward.

Something or someone
Gets in the way.

It is a struggle to
Get what we want
Find what we need
Hold it all together.

We anticipate the problems
Look for them
In every task
Situation
Person.

For all the ways
Things can go wrong
People will disappoint
The world will sabotage.

Everything seems to be against us.

Since that is what we look for
That is what we find.

Things do go wrong
People will disappoint
Circumstances sabotage.

The universe is indifferent to our existence.

And yet
There is much to love.

A world of beauty
Nature full of wonder
Helpful people.

There is goodness
All around us
Within us.

Every circumstance holds a lesson
Every person offers something to learn.

Expect bad
And you will uncover it.

Seek the good
And it will reveal itself.

Each moment
We decide what we find
By what we choose to look for.

What will you find?

Notice what you are looking for
Separate fact from story
Choose what you seek
Direct attention with intention
