Take our your stonemason’s chisel and hammer. That rock will break, no longer blocking your path.
Our inward power, when it obeys nature, reacts to events by accommodating itself to what it faces—to what is possible. It needs no specific material. It pursues its own aims as circumstances allow; it turns obstacles into fuel. As a fire overwhelms what would have quenched a lamp. What’s thrown on top of the conflagration is absorbed, consumed by it—and makes it burn still higher.
Meditations 4.1
All obstacles must fall. Only time and directed power stands between you and the accomplished feat.
Obstacles into fuel. The large, freshly-cut log that is impervious to fire, until persistent heat makes it hiss and steam away the dampness within. The log smolders and bursts into flame.
Choose well. Do you have time for this obstacle? Will you have the determination and strength? If so, a decision and persistent self-discipline will bring success.
