There are No Obstacles only Stepping Stones
Emily Maya Aykan
In life , whatever we do , there will always be obstacles . But just because there are obstacles it doesn ’ t mean we should stop what we are doing . When we try to do things that are new , we might get stuck or even give up , but when we reach an obstacle , instead of quitting or stopping we should treat that obstacle like a stepping stone .
The best thing about an obstacle is that it shows us how to overcome something that we would normally never try or think to overcome . We should use the obstacles , not let the obstacles use us . It shows us the path to something better , like an opportunity .
After overcoming obstacles , we shouldn ’ t let them bring us down . Instead we should be happy about them because it means we are heading towards the right way . Some obstacles might bring us down but we should remember them as something that made us continue down the path . A lot of people have seen obstacles like they are there to stop us or make us quit but if we look at it as an opportunity , it ’ s actually there to guide us . When we reach a stepping stone we should overcome it and think of it like a bumpy road . After all , it ’ s there to show us a path .
