Everything seems to scream go, just do it, keep going, move forward, and so on.  What happens when we come across an obstacle?   Or we find ourselves not able to just do it?  We conclude the obstacle is outside of us. It is something or someone impeding our ability to do the very thing we want to do.  What if the deeper question became, what is the hinder inside of me that looks like an obstacle outside of me?  Isn’t this what differentiates the people who let the obstacles outside of them stop them versus those who plow forward despite the resistance?  What do they do with their internal hinders?  Are they able to apply the same principles to their hinders in all areas of their lives or just some?  Is there a message contained in the hinders?  When we attune ourselves within we can explore the hinders without judgment.  All things, even obstacles can be our teachers if we let them.  What if the hinders tell us more about what we really think or feel than the obstacle it looks like outside of us?  We may think we are certain in our minds that we want to move forward.  Does our heart want to move forward?  Do we mute the hinders because we do not want to face the truth of where we are concerning the movement in our lives?  It might call us to dismantle some of what we think of ourselves or what we think others believe about us.  God invites us to use the hinders to take what we have decided in our minds and align it with our hearts.  To do so we need to take time to quiet the noise of the outside world as I have learned to do on my daily date with God.  In the quiet, we can engender patience to listen closely to the hinders and what they are speaking to us from the truth of who we are.
