When
challenges or obstacles arise for us, we don’t have to get so
intimidated; we can say, “Yes, it’s an obstacle, but it is not
intrinsically bad; it’s not going to destroy me.” To create a
relationship with the obstacle, learn about it, and finally overcome it …
gives us a chance to cultivate wisdom and skillful means.
