Obstacles in the Way? Original Approaches to Face Challenges

In life we will have the possibility to learn at all times. Solving the present scenarios will help us to get closer to our Faith. Find out how in the following article.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29

Many people have difficulty seeing far, others have difficulty seeing near. Other people have perfect vision, but even so, they miss the way, they confuse the message. Perfect vision does not always augur success. Sometimes it's just a matter of focus, sometimes a matter of perspective.

It is better to know where to look than to have a very clear vision. It is better not to give up in our attempts, to sharpen our gaze, to move from place to place to contemplate other landscapes. Not to remain with the first vision. Remembering that the Lord gives us in his blessings the possibility of adding love to our hearts and spirits.

"You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:38-39

Almost in the manner of a mirror, it is often difficult at times to see the other person clearly, as he or she really is. We tend to eliminate from our field of vision those behaviors, feelings, aspects of the other person that do not agree with us. And also all those aspects that could diminish our criterion of Faith.

As we are beings in continuous change, the optimal distance will allow a clearer vision and centered in the Holy Spirit will help us to understand all that the Heavenly Father gives us in his infinite wisdom. If we have to go through a complicated situation to add patience and life experiences, then we must face it in the best way possible.

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Proverbs 15:1

Taking distance and looking in perspective can be beneficial in resuming God's path of light. It is the way to strategically plan how your life will evolve together with the Faith, making decisions that lead you to continue with the Lord's mission.

If your work does not satisfy you, if you are not getting what you want, either spiritually or as personal satisfaction, to do good with the people around you, start planning a change.

Understanding the circumstances, observing the whole picture will lead you to a good harbor. We cannot always achieve our goals immediately. It is a process and as such it takes time. But begin to visualize what you want, praying, reading the scriptures and most importantly, do not give up on improving your life, but always leave your heart open to the universal healing of the Holy Spirit.



"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Colossians 3:13

Pay attention to the small changes you can make every day. Everyday decisions that will allow you to change your focus and the way you act in the face of unforeseen events, problems and conflict scenarios present in your life.

No matter how insignificant they may seem, a change of approach, communication and even attitude in the face of adversity can be the key to unlock the bad moment you are going through.

Try to observe, to listen to other people, to contrast the problem or situation with your loved ones. Do not ignore them, they could give you a vision that will bring you closer to understanding, again it requires an optimal distance: see from afar. Your being is a totality together with God, when we are so close to Him, we will have a differential perspective.

Observe the totality, and always prayerfully consult His wisdom, for it will always accompany you on the path of healing.
