Holy crap man, my anxiety rose just READING that! I bow to your persistence and composure.
If your life is anything like mine, all those obstacles mean you are on the right path. EVERY thing that has brought me real, positive change in my life required persistence against a never ending stream of bizarre obstacles. Now in my mid 40's, when the going gets tough, I get optimistic... it means I'm doing the right thing.
If anyone ever tells you you're too stubborn, make them read this post! This is one of the best examples I've ever seen of how stubborness can win the day!
