During World War II, the German military implemented a strategy called blitzkrieg<\/em>, a term meaning, \u201clightning warfare.\u201d This strategy was comprised of rapid and formidable attacks intended to catch the opposing side off guard. It worked. It was not uncommon for the opposing commanders to simply surrender when faced with what appeared to be a guaranteed defeat. It was an obstacle that appeared to leave them helpless and without options. The German military was victorious in this approach until General Dwight D. Eisenhower proclaimed, \u201cThe present situation is to be regarded as\u00a0opportunity<\/u>\u00a0for us and\u00a0not disaster<\/u>.\u201d<\/p>\n Once they looked at it as an opportunity, they were able to think of strategic ways to use this terrible problem in their favor. During the next few battles, the allies allowed the powerful line of attack to enter, and then they encircled and overtook them from the back and sides. In a sense, the German army walked right into the allies\u2019 \u201cnet.\u201d<\/p>\n Obstacles are inevitable. If we are alive, we are facing them. Some are big and some are small, but they are always there. They can make us feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and exhausted. They can lead us to believe that we are doing things wrong, we are not good enough, or even make us give up. But there is another way. If we choose to,\u00a0we can see that within every obstacle, we are given an opportunity.<\/u><\/p>\n How many times do we look back at hard events and go \u201cman, that was rough. But I learned so much\u201d? Or, \u201cI never would have changed if that obstacle hadn\u2019t happened in my life\u201d? Obstacles remind us that life doesn\u2019t care about our agendas or the way we think things should go, it cares about our evolution.<\/p>\n Obstacles give us the chance to think differently, to see things in a new light, to let go of old ways and learn new ones, deepen our connections, and increase our knowledge. The opportunity is there, but it\u2019s up to us to figure out what it is. The path to the answer is in the struggle. The obstacle is the way.<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" During World War II, the German military implemented a strategy called blitzkrieg, a term meaning, \u201clightning warfare.\u201d This strategy was comprised of rapid and formidable attacks intended to catch the opposing side off guard.
