Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic philosopher and Roman emperor, expressed the idea that obstacles are not merely barriers but opportunities for growth and progress. In his work Meditations, he wrote:
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” (Meditations, Book 5.20)
This means that challenges and difficulties are not just things to be avoided or overcome—they are essential to progress. By facing adversity with the right mindset, we can transform obstacles into stepping stones for success.
