The obstacle is the way by Ryan Holliday
To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school it is to slove some of the problems of life not only theoretically but practically
Our actions mat be impeded but there can be on impeding our intentions or dispositions. Because we can accommodate and the mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting
The impediment to action advances action what stands in the way becomes the way
Propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer
Get your mother and all her friends, they 'll never see a fire like this again
I've been thrown alot of things like this it prevents a man from being addicted with ennui
To forgive a man who has wronged one to remain a friendship to continue faithful one to one who has broken faith
to sum it up
" objective judgment. Now at this very moment unfinsh action now at this every moment willing acceptance now at this very moment of all extrenal events that's all you need "
See the obstacles as opportunities
Simply what stands in the way becomes the way
We don't control what happensto us
But we do control how we respond to what happens to us
