So an ancient once said, “Accept the anxieties and difficulties of this life”. Don’t expect your practice to be clear of obstacles. Without hindrances the mind that seeks enlightenment may be burnt out. So an ancient once said, “Attain deliverance in disturbances”.

Who would we be if it were not for the obstacles? I’m not sure if I would be a better person if untested. Not sure I’d be worse either. I’d probably have less stress lines (wrinkles).
