Unnecessary obstacles: climb the mountains you are carrying
A beautiful quote from Najwa Zebian: These mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb.
We often make life harder than necessary, whether through excessive expectations of ourselves or others, or imagining things as more difficult than they actually are.
A fitting saying is: children have imaginary friends; adults have imaginary problems.
Do not make things unnecessarily difficult. Avoid putting obstacles in your own way or undermining yourself.
Mindset is everything.
