Impossible Obstaclesis a series of posts about the obstacles that got in my way and how I moved through them.
Today is August 15, 2010, and I’m sitting up late in my office listening to DavidISAIT, the visionary and developer of mirrored Emotional Intelligence, talk about pink radiology, and how we can use pink in our marketing to get people to be more emotional.
A lot of things ticked me off: but ironically, they enabled me to become more rounded as a person and brought out my brilliance.
It started off as my frustration with the poor quality of some software.
Really ticked me off! What is wrong with it?
I use a certain piece of software very carefully. It has saved me hours when I follow steps to accomplish it. Because it was under my control, I could see what was wrong because it was right there in front of me. Here I thought it was a piece of clay to be shaped, but it was wrought with excellence.
I knew if I didn’t run with it, it wouldn’t play with me, I’d get blindsided, like myera ( falsehood).
My version of ‘era’ is not the right one for me, and I know that now.
But I was intimidated with the quality of some software and had a vague fear it wouldn’t play for me.
I dove like a butterfly into my testing. My experience later proved that, when you get a better version, I can move through the day with it.
I don’t think I could have talked my way past that issue if I hadn’tGod Has Made another way.
Later on, I found myself attracted by the excellence of a particular piece of software that had a growing community of people using it and asking questions. It also teaches a heck of a lot about Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff.
I thought there weren’t enough things that humanly handled software could do for people, until I saw this new program.
A software program maker has taught me so much. Every day, I learn more.
That said, I think what strikes me anyway is that it has taught me to be flexible, to keep moving when obstacles get presented so that I don’t skip walking down the path with my hands in my pockets.
Pursuit of love, personal growth, and what I believe are my valid needs have helped my journey to be stronger. I am especially appreciative of the food miracles that show up where I’m consciously making the choice to share myself with the world without expecting anything in return.
As If!
It is so much easier when we see the opportunity in the obstacle.
You may never hear the words But I’m a girl and feel beautiful. You will know Its from the smile, the swaggering gait, the arms swaying to the right. That’s the message, of course.
The way I felt… I was impressed. I know this girl could turn the world on its head with a pretty face if she had a pretty life.
The way I still feel… I’ll count on it.
Amidst the contrast this new path presents, there is also a fullness, an energy so big, so pure from that path toward this life, that it justHumanizes me andki+ hire.

“I’m Thinking Up a New, Great Way to Get broader, fresher, better news.”
Oh, an impassioned endeavor, but this is to beyond mine. Perhaps You will inspire me to sing, to walk with unconditional love, to eat with purity, to be kind, to value my body as I protect it from toxins, and then love my body positively.
And to tell the truth, I would have to say yes, I can travel on one of these paths if I copy This one, if I choose.
I am on a path that reassuringly embodies those same qualities that Collin’s ego seeks to dismiss as a crutch. But I know, too – I’ll say it again: I know its my authentic path.
My work: I’ll focus away from trying to control, from projecting, from doubting, from defending, from feeling like I’m the only one in this crazy setup, down-with-the-local, prepared my own inner power, my own beauty.
My music: I will show up and play along. I can listen, but I won’t follow.
