Bidding Adieu To Hurdles In Life

Ever bumped into an obstacle? Ever not enjoyed it?

One of the absolute best aspects of helping people through life coaching is viewing obstacles evaporate, every so often obstacles that have been a part of someone’s life for years, decades even. Which at times makes people ask: how was it that it seemed such a problem??

Well I guess it’s all a question of perception! Perception’s a funny old thing – we may “be aware” that there’s a different way to view things, and we may even “be aware” that that would get us good results in life, but somehow belief often prefers to stay just the same as it’s ever been.

Many people know someone who feels undervalued at work and sees that as an obstacle that they just cannot overcome – after all, if “they” can’t see how good I am, there’s no chance I’ll be able to rise to my “rightful” place, is there? It can seem like rock-solid reality!

And yet it’s just perception. What if “they” in reality think I’m brilliant at my job and are going to promote me the moment someone else moves on? What if they’re correct and that, in fact, I’m not living up to my capability to be the best employee that they want me to be? What if the only thing that’s stopping them is my tiresome sufferer mentality? What if the person who’s really undervaluing me is … me?

This doesn’t only relate to work, of course.

Are there any hikers out there? Hiking is a wonderful opportunity to come into contact with the beauty and grandeur of this planet we live on, and to go out of our “comfort” (inertia?) zone and grow – becoming fitter, healthier, more strong-minded, more alert, and perhaps even intelligent!

Not every individual feels the same way about this, obviously. A normal hiking menu is likely also to comprise blisters, rain, heat, cold, heavy backpacks, uncomfortable nights in a tent, as well as mountains that take a lot of energy to climb up, and streams that are icy and deep and for some reason don’t seem to have a bridge built over them even though you genuinely need to get to the other side. And it’s certainly one option to look at all this as being firmly in the “don’t even want to think about going there” category. For the reason that it’s certainly not all “amusing”.

Now, if you’ve come across the life coaching scene in the Sound of Music, you may remember that just when Maria is in a completely stuck space, uncertain of her life direction, the Mother Superior (head nun) unexpectedly bursts into song: “Climb every mountain, ford every stream!”

I don’t know if she was a hiker, but it’s a fantastic metaphor! Yes, life comes with its challenges and obstacles. Yes, they will be things that you just might not choose for yourself. But how much more manageable they can be, fun even, if we perceive them like a hike!

Life may not at all times be a walk in the park, but it can every time be a hike in the mountains.
