Impediment to Action Advances Action

While it is true that someone can impede our actions, they can not impede our intentions and our attitudes, which have the power of being conditional and adaptable. For the Mind converts any obstacle to its action into means of achieving it. That which is an impediment to action advances action , What stands in the way becomes the way

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 5.20

How many times we forget this? The obstacle is always the way
