I lived for more than 39 years and few months on this planet. I realized that some of the people use you and they are kind of obstacle in your life. That just can't be changed. Some of the life experiences become bitter when more such people are in your life.
When you want to live a better life then you have to get rid of such people off your life. That may not be easier but if you plan your life the right way then the thing is you learn how to do taht one day at a time. It does not happen by accident or through god, but conscious efforts.
Most of the time people who want to be your obstacle, they just are going to eat your time. And they are going to make your life a living hell. On that note I'd say that mindset plays a big role. Some of those roles teach you how the eating the time hurts you.
You are trying very hard in your life that you want to move ahead. But the thing is some people want to damage you by taking your time out of life. And they win by enjoying their own life. So kind of like changes the life in that case. Some of the time that is where the mindset plays as well.
You can't rely on destiny and you can't expect the god to help you most of the time. Because you would have to move ahead with the efforts. That is what I would tell you on that note. It is not going to be any easy but if you do things right that won't be much of a problem.
A lot of people need to understand where the life moves ahead. And they make use of the skillls that they have in order to go ahead. If they manage to move ahead with all those hurdles then things just become easier. Those things are not that easy.
Handling the people is a choice now. Not all people can do that and even doing it is not that going to be any easy. So make sure to learn to dodge people too. So that would be another progress for you to work with. That's what you should consider in the right frame of mind.
My approach to the obstacle is lot different than the others. So those who know what can be done on that note can be something we have learned over the years. So I guess I have more to learn on the obstacles of life.
