Obstacles are only temporary...
We all face obstacles from time to time. Or challenges, if you prefer (!).
Large or small. Anticipated or coming out of the blue. Necessitating a small detour or sounding the death knell for our plans and dreams. Some even seem to have a life of their own, bringing their friends with them and settling in for a party (!).
Often, it’s not the obstacle itself that defeats us, but how we perceive it. And so react to it.
In other words, our mindset is more important than the obstacle itself in determining how successfully we deal with it.
Do you ever think about your "internal flora and fauna"?

It’s such an English way of describing something that most people would prefer not to discuss (!) but, before we go any further, let’s quickly explain what it means.
The human body – in common with that of other animals, including insects – also provides a home to a huge number of microorganisms. While this may not initially sound like a good thing, it has many benefits for both sides.
