Obstacles as Opportunities

We often view obstacles negatively.  Obstacles can cause delays, lost opportunities, additional costs and other unpleasant outcomes.  They can also spur creativity, eliminate hasty costly decisions and produce much needed time to think. 

When we deal with obstacles as temporary barriers to be circumvented, removed, minimized or repositioned we can learn from the experience. Sometimes the things we don't want or expect can be exactly what we need for continuous improvement.
