How is your life related to this Henry Ford quote?

Question:"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal."

How does it relate to events in your life and what does this quote mean to you? I'm curious to see what you will say.

Answers:
this is so freaky!.i have a close friend that is going through a really tough time right now with alcoholism and depression and i am trying to help them through it..this quote is one for the bathroom mirror for sure.(i tape notes of inspiration to the bathroom mirror about every third day)..i'm sure that by reading my answer you realize that i understand the meaning of the quote.thanks for the words of inspiration - i will pass them on!
I don't think I really agree with the quote so it doesn't mean much to me. Obstacles arise all the time, and they're not so terribly frightful. They present opportunities for growth. Actually, you could have your eyes so fixated on the goal that you miss the obstacles and, in doing so, are unable to achieve the goal. I mean, goals are fine but sometimes you need to keep yourself open to the reality of what's going on. The goal might have been appropriate for a period of your life and now it's not anymore. Sometimes holding onto to it just takes on a life of its own. Also, if your eyes are so firmly on a goal, you'd miss all the good stuff happening around you in addition to obstacles. It's best to notice everything that comes your way.
Sounds like Henry Ford was on PCP.
Not sure how an obstacle can be frightful.
