Week 3: Reading (ch 7)

This chapter was about being present in the moment, despite obstacles or annoyances that exist.  To be present in what is, and instead of complaining about the obstacles in life, recognize that those obstacles are there.  When we recognize obstacles and don't fight them, we then can better understand how to work around or with those obstacles to reach our goal.  If we see an obstacle in the way of our dream and then concentrate on how that obstacle has ruined everything and put a roadblock in the path to our goals, then essentially we give up.  We need to recognize obstacles, and work through them with a positive "can do" attitude in order to reach our goals in life.
