Illusory Obstacles

We all face obstacles that can impede our journey and slow our momentum. Sometimes external influences are at play, and to move forward, our only choices are to find a way to overcome the obstacle or take a different direction.

There are also times when we create illusory obstacles for a variety of reasons. We may unconsciously recognize that we are heading in the wrong direction, and the obstacles are there to tell us to go back the way we came. We may need to reconsider and re-evaluate what we want to achieve because our circumstances have changed. There are also times when we create illusory obstacles because we are scared of success, reaching our destination and manifesting a hard-earned outcome. We perform acts of self-sabotage- we create issues or behave in a manner that prevents us from actioning or achieving our goals- because success has the potential to change our lives, and that change brings a degree of uncertainty. We may also unconsciously believe that we are not deserving of success.

If there is a situation where you feel your progress is being hampered, it might be time to pause and consider whether the obstacles are real or if, in fact, you are creating illusory obstacles. The former may be beyond your means to control, but the latter is of your own making. If you are weaving the illusions, you also have the power to banish them.

This wee dragon messenger asks if you believe the door to be real or if you see it for the illusion that it is.
