Obstacles

Obstacles anyone?  

Why are only some of us given hurdles, while others soar through life?

 Diana's story:

I was baffled after my former colleague (Diana) expressed the effortless process it took for her to register with an employment agency that we were both affiliated with. She pleasantly explained how one languid call led her to a recruiter who became eager to work with her. The headhunter simply requested a copy of her resume, ID and a few references; a few days later Diana was sitting at a desk, typing and talking her way into a permanent position with the prestigious company she had been placed with.

 Anita's story:

Wow, oddly enough for me, I contacted the same employment agency as Diana, however I had to go through a long and arduous process before I could even step my foot into the door of the inaccessible agency.  After my first point of contact with Todd, I was instructed to:

• Go online and complete an official application
• Take a one-hour assessment test
• Engage in a 30 minute- Duo (video) interview
• After I was selected, I had to drive one and a half hours to the employment agency to produce my ID, and references

Really?.... So why was my story in opposition of Diana's? Umm..

Why was I given such strenuous tasks, while my counterpart coasted through the procedure?

This is a type of question that I often ponder upon. How is it that some individuals seem to glide through life, have such luck, and seem to face little to no adversity; while the rest of us are constantly burdened with challenges that seem insurmountable?

Those who are challenged: Possible Answer:

• Maybe those who are challenged have a higher purpose, therefore they must possess stronger endurance?
• Maybe those who are challenged are simply unlucky?
• Maybe those who are challenged balance out the earth?
• Maybe those who are challenged build character and go on to do great things? 

Those who are not challenged: Possible Answer:

• Possibly lived on this earth in a past life and had already paid their dues?
• Possibly have good Kharma?
• Possibly are here to balance out the earth?
• Possibly think positive thoughts, therefore have favorable experiences?

So, what do you think it is? Why do some suffer with infinite obstacles, while others get to enjoy a 

delightful, euphoric and blissful existence on earth?
