The Obstacle is The way

The book "The Obstacle is The Way" is around a quote from Marcus Aurelius: " The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way." The message is very simple- What blocks your path becomes our path, and what once impeded action becomes the action. We give up too easily. With a simple change of attitude, what seem like insurmountable obstacles become once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. One of my favorite quotes from the book is "Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective." Some books are to be read like your favorite food and then digested and assimilated. A book by Ryan Holiday is one of such kind that needs to be read and reread multiple times to face life's obstacles.
