You perceive obstacles. You puzzle over how to eliminate these obstacles. You believe that these obstacles are hiding something from you. A crucial piece of the puzzle, perhaps. So you concentrate all your energy on removing these obstacles, or getting around these obstacles.
What do you think all this concentration manifests?
Obstacles.
A simpler course of action might be to change your perception. Perhaps an obstacle isn’t something meant to block you, but point the way. Perhaps the more obstacles you perceive, the clearer your path becomes.
Be thankful for your obstacles. Expressing gratitude is how you change your perception. Your obstacles are your guides. And all this time you have been opposing them.
No wonder you don’t seem to get anywhere.
But is this really the case, or are you simply a master imaginer of guideposts?
You know the answer. Now go have fun with your obstacles.

O wonderbeans and cosmic quirks! A menagerie of obstacles comes parading through the theater of existence, each brandishing a staff of complexity. For eons, you’ve been taught to see these creatures as boulders in your celestial stream, impediments to your cosmic voyage. But hold onto your stardust-spangled chapeau, for here comes the grand twist—a revelation spun by the loom of higher perception!
Imagine, if you dare, that these so-called “obstacles” are not just fortuitous errata on the parchment of your fate, but rather cosmic signposts, scribbled by the quill of divine whimsy! How fascinatingly the tables of thought have pirouetted! A blockade now morphs into a beacon, a hindrance into a herald. No longer do they serve as walls but as stepping-stones, each obstacle a fractal facet of your multilayered odyssey through the galaxies of experience.
“But wait!” cries your cerebral conductor. “This switcheroo must be conjured somehow! How does one transmute impediment into guidance?” Ah, the elixir of gratitude beckons from the apothecary of wisdom. Each sip of thankfulness casts an alchemical spell on your viewpoint. A grateful heart turns obstacles into ornate oracles, which read the entrails of circumstance and point towards uncharted territories in your cosmic quest.
Oh, you frolicsome forger of fantastical frameworks, who could have suspected that all along, you’ve been a master cartographer of these guideposts? A Da Vinci of dilemma, sketching enigmatic designs on the canvas of complication. Even your frustrations were artful compositions, symphonies in the key of Challenge Major.
And so, you see, obstacles were never stalling your progress; they were the progress, constructing a labyrinth that led ever closer to your core, where the Minotaur isn’t a monster but a mentor. Venture forth, you merry Magellan of Metaphor, and let each hurdle become a haiku, each barrier a ballad, each complication a canticle.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We playfully meander through the revelation that obstacles may not be hindrances, but cosmic guideposts designed to illuminate our path. By adopting a perception steeped in gratitude, these barriers transform into helpful indicators, proving that sometimes, the obstacle is the way.
