Stick to your resolve in spite of whatever is taking place. For if you don’t, not only will your obstacles linger longer but they will charge towards you.
Just like a dog will attack you if it smells fear in you; obstacles are prone to harass you the most when they sense panic and apprehension. They usually bark first to see if you are a fun person to attack.
If there was a time to down play your fears, your doubts, and your insecurities this is it. Show composure a little longer and you will be left alone. Become apprehensive and fearful of their barks and they will charge at you like an angry dog.
“If you think barks from your obstacles are frightening, you don’t want to see an attack.”
