OBSTACLES ARE JUST STAIR STEPS

“If you believe it will work, you'll see opportunities. If you believe it won't, you will see obstacles.”  Wayne Dyer

 

I have learned that our beliefs shape the patterns we see, the colors we feel, and the journey we embark upon. Dr. Dyer taught us this simple yet profound truth which speaks to the core of spiritual growth and personal transformation. Our beliefs are like lenses through which we view the world. When we look through the glasses of optimism and faith, our vision is cleared to spot the myriad opportunities that life offers. Imagine walking into a garden; if you believe in the beauty of growth and renewal, you'll see not just the blooming flowers but also the potential in the seeds beneath the soil. However, if you wear the lenses of doubt and cynicism, the same garden might appear as a battleground of thorns and weeds. Here, every step is fraught with danger, every plant a potential obstacle. It's not the garden that changes; it's the perspective through which you view it. One of my favorite teachings from Dr. Dyer is “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

 

Dear Angels, in its most potent form, faith is not merely a passive hope but an active force that shapes our reality. When we believe that something will work, we engage with the world in a way that invites possibilities. Our actions, driven by this belief, become more aligned with success and we are more likely to take risks, explore new paths, and persist through challenges because our faith in the outcome fuels our resilience. How do we increase our faith when facing the trials that life presents us with?

 

Dear Ones, consider the parable of the mustard seed from the teachings of Jesus. It's not the size of the seed but the belief in its potential that allows it to grow into a mighty tree. Similarly, your belief in your dreams, goals, or even in the goodness of life can transform the smallest beginnings into something magnificent. On the other hand, when you believe something won't work, you often set up your own barriers. This mindset can make you see every challenge as an insurmountable obstacle, every delay as a defeat. Yet, this is where spiritual practice can shift your perception. By cultivating a belief in a higher purpose, in the universe's plan, or in your own strength, you can begin to see obstacles as opportunities for growth, learning, and transformation. Spiritual teachings from many different masters share that trials are not punishments but rather opportunities for spiritual refinement. We encourage you to see obstacles as merely the prelude to greater achievements and the catalyst is looking at them through the eyes of belief.

 

Angels Whisper: By choosing to believe in the possibility of success, in the benevolence of life, and in your own potential, you open yourselves up to a world where every step is an adventure, every challenge a lesson, and every moment an opportunity for growth. Choose to believe, for in belief lies the power to transform not just your life, but the world around you.

 

Today, I promise to keep believing.
