I was reminded recently that what we often think of as obstacles, may only be something that is gently re-routing us. That which stands in our way is not always our enemy, it can often be our best friend sending us on a detour that takes us around something that could have been our biggest stumbling block. I'm becoming more and more convinced that all things happen for the best. what are your thoughts?

That's a really nice way of seeing it and yes I tend to agree, we don't always see at the time why things should happen the way they do but given time we can look back and see it was actually meant to be because if not for that "happening" then we would not of got to where we are meant to be, that's assuming it's a positive place doesn't sound so good if it put us on a downward spiral to nowhere.

Hi Pose123! I think the same way you do about obstacles. I do believe that they are signs for me to rethink my way and my goal if that is really for the good of my family and myself and those people who may be affected with my decisions. However, there are those times that I am too stubborn to just give up for I try to get over that stumbling block that hinder my path and still try to pursue whatever I am reaching for and in those times, at the end of the road I will see that I will be hurt, disappointed and something seems not right; and there are those times that I am happy that I have pursued it. Other times, I heed the warnings. Through the years, I have learned to weigh all the decisions and actions I am taking. I try to listen more now to my heart and conscience and heed the warning signs.
Take care always..God Bless!

You got that right. All things in life always have two sides: positive and negative side. It's your call to decide whether you want to take the positive side which will give you benefit, or take the negative side which will only ruin your life. Obstacles and enemies are there simply just to teach us what life is, how to run your life wisely, and how to become a better person each day.
