When encounters a hurdle, should one stop or should it be overcome?
The answer to this big question lies into how much passion and will power one has. When we don't know what to do, we begin to question our identity. Who are we really for us to know what we should do on big decisions? or even small decisions...
When we are faced with the biggest hurdle, should we take the detour? or should we jump over and run the risk of pain and injury in case we fail.
If we found ourselves injured, should we take the hurdle once more and risk another injury or should we continue until we are immunized by the pain if not a master on jumping over it?
When it is causing us a trauma that is beyond the hurdle, do we have to proceed?
if we quit, does the trauma stop?
If it doesn't stop, should have we taken that hurdle to settle all doubts?
In every hurdle, some are confronted by more issues that they can ignore if they want to speed up but eventually they are not running away from this issues but just delaying the confrontation. One must develop a strategy and strike that balance when to keep running, when to jump, when to pause to resolve issues, and when to take that detour.
This strategy is a learning process. To learn is to commit a mistake. If one fails once, it is acceptable. If one failed twice, on the same mistake, it is a choice. It becomes a definition of your personality. A character that embraces your perfections together. These are imperfections that encloses our greatness. Some people correct this and risk the loss of something they are used to be good at, along the process...unconsciously.
In every stage of life, hurdles come in various shapes, looks, and feel. It intensifies as we grow old unless we delayed those younger smaller hurdles which makes us stuck to that obstacle course...and we fail to move on from those....and we lose progress.
