Walk of The Tarmac Path, Part VI: The Obstacle of Mistakes

You come walking down the other side of the mountain,

like a brave warrior who has been in battle,

to still be walking is alone a miracle,

you were prepared for surrender,

surprised by yourself,

This time the walk to the next obstacle is short,

it is only a little to the right of you,

By the obstacle the next sign awaits you,

your legs are shivering cause you have gotten weaker,

and your eyes are red after no sleep,

A golden sign shines in front of you,

you take a step forward and concentrate on the sign:

"Mistakes is something everybody do,
they can easily be made and are hard to stop,
There is not much to say here,
mistakes can tear you apart and break your heart,
think through everything you do against this
obstacle,
the only way to win"

You start to think,

is it a mistake to take on this obstacle?

this leads you back to the Obstacle of Choices,

you have to make one,

if it is a mistake to choose to do it you don't know,

you head towards the obstacle,

you decide to face The Obstacle of Mistakes.
