Real or Imaginary, Doesn’t Matter

Good health is calling to me, but there are so many obstacles. If I began listing them, you’d probably point out all the ones that are just excuses and not really obstacles or not. The bottom line is that real or imaginary obstacles can be very powerful in preventing me from obtaining my goals. Those “imaginary” ones are there in my brain and refuse to leave. We tend to forget how powerful our brains are.

But where they are real or imaginary really doesn’t matter. I still need to shift through them all to find the biggest obstacle of all that is hiding among all the others. It doesn’t want to be discovered because only then can a direct assault be planned. This one obstacle could be the foundation of all the others. It has to be found in order to find good health.

My Obstacle is….!

After much reflection, I discovered the the biggest obstacle between me and obtaining good health is…me! I’m that obstacle that is preventing me from living life to its fullest. What do I mean by it being me? Well…

Remember how I mentioned that some of my obstacles could be construed as “imaginary”? We can talk ourselves into anything even if there is no validity surrounding it. I tell myself that I don’t have time…
