Day 4520: Obstacles

We all encounter obstacles every day. For me, some obstacles are more upsetting than others.

I particularly struggle with obstacles I believe I should be able to figure out on my own. Of course, shoulds (and other cognitive distortions) are obstacles to peace of mind.

Yesterday, I was stumped, stopped, and stymied by an obstacle when I tried to use a music distribution service for the first time. I got an error message when I answered that the language of my protest song was English.

.

Not knowing how to overcome that obstacle, I googled solutions and couldn’t find any. Then, I contacted customer support but haven’t heard back. These kinds of obstacles are an obstacle to my enjoying my weekend.

Why are there so many obstacles to my getting my music out there? Do I have what it takes to overcome these obstacles? How do I overcome the obstacles of my self doubt, my inexperience with the music business, AND my impatience? Who can help me with these obstacles?

What obstacles do you see in my other images for today?

When I search for obstacles on YouTube, I find this…

Here’s a comment about obstacles from that second video:

Thanks to all who deal with obstacles every day, including YOU!
