Have you ever noticed when it comes to facing Obstacles in your life, once you seem to get thru them it makes everything a lot easier to handle. Especially when it concerns something major Financial or Medically. Obstacles are things I think we have to go thru to help us become a better more often mature person and help teach us things we can use the next time or help others with. I know over the course of my yrs I have faced many obstacles. Even not as appreciated by others because of some of them. But thru it all, I am still married, still have my Health, even if not always the Best, and still have a place to live in. All I know is I Thank God for what I have come thru and know that I have become a better person because of it. Are you good with dealing with Obstacles in your life? ~~TINA~~

I think that because of my faith I handle obstacles quite well - some I could not have handled alone.

I've got an obstacle right now I didn't know about until I went looking for something and couldn't find it. Obstacles do strengthen you and make you a better person.

For sure and many times you end up learning something you knew very little about before.

Obstacles seem to be glued to me. Never-ending. I do have an attitude of gratitude, but sometimes it hurts.

Yes I am good at dealing with obstacles because they never end. Anyone who thinks life is supposed to be obstacle free is kidding themselves. I am glad you are looking at your things to be thankful for, because that is the main thing to keep a person going. I do it everyday too.

Am very happy for you friend. There's so much joy in being victorious. Sometimes it would financial obstacles, material obstacles etc. But I want to thank God because He has always been there for me. For many are the affliction of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them from them all.

I have had some obstacles, I just didn't see any end to it. But in the end, a lot was for my own good. Thank God for His grace.

Luckily I don't have too many obstacles now - touch wood. I think I get pretty stressed when things aren't going well.

We all have obstacles in life, some easier than others.. but they do help shape us, and I think we need them to stay grounded. I am mostly good with it

I think I am good at handling obstacles in life. I have encountered many obstacles living here in Germany and those obstacles made me stronger than I am before.

I would prefer to do without obstacles and have an easier life. I agree that after you hopefully finish with it it is like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and then have to get back to my life again.

I'm not good dealing with my obstacles in life I'm actually always struggling facing it. Even if I want to control it there was always something came up that I couldn't understand why it did happen.

I get frustrated with obstacles because I seem to encounter so many of them. I am currently reading Joel Osteen's book "The Power of I Am". There is a lot of information in there about how to think as we struggle physically, emotionally, psychologically. It's helpful to read this just before I go to sleep so I can lie down and pray about what I just learned. I also know things could be a lot worse and if I just be still and listen and know all things will happen in God's time, I'll be more relaxed.

I feel like a much kinder person after all I've been through but I feel weaker like my mental state is fragile from being shaken so much.

Facing obstacles is part of the reality of life. How you face them is what makes you different from the next person. I welcome obstacles. I see them as a means to improve, to grow my personality. I face them with a positive mental attitude. *Hums* Where's the next obstacle, Tina.

Every life has obstacles and it does say a lot about a person how they deal with them. My husband has Parkinson's so we deal with obstacles every day.

Obstacles in life make person stronger

I'm not at all dealing with obstacles. First of all, I get all weird and panicky, if that's a word. and second of all, I couldn't help but think about how it's gonna effect me in future. Well maybe it's just because I want to be prepared for the worst but still..
