Facing a Challenge
- John Miller
A mindful moment for when obstacles feel immovable
The obstacle is the path.
I breathe in courage.
I breathe out resistance.
By meeting what stands before me,
the way forward appears.
Some moments stop us in our tracks.
A difficult conversation. A high-stakes decision. A sudden setback.
This Gatha is for that moment. The one where we instinctively resist or retreat.
But what if the challenge is not blocking the path? What if it is the path?
By pausing to breathe, we give ourselves a chance to meet the moment with courage.
When we soften our resistance and face what stands before us, the way forward becomes clearer.
If this helped you take a breath, share it with someone who might need one too.
