I will tell you one thing that will make you rich for life. There are two struggles: an Inner-world struggle and an Outer-world struggle...you must make an intentional contact between these two worlds; then you can crystallize data for the Third World, the World of the Soul.

G.I. Gurdjieff
About This Quote

What we do and how we go about doing things is of utmost importance. It is the very core of our existence. When we set out to create and manifest, we must first and foremost focus on the goal and what we want to manifest. Then we must take steps towards that goal, conscious of the obstacles that might be in our way.

The obstacles are not for us to overcome; they are there to assist us in our journey, as they harnessing our energy and give us a new perspective on how to get where we want to go. This quote reminds us that it is the goal that drives us, not the obstacles themselves.
