The path with no obstacles most likely leads nowhere. There is no victory without a fight, there is no star without a scar.
A difficult path always leads to a glorious end.
Obstacles are often a stepping stone, they are designed to make you stronger. The more you overcome them, the stronger you become.
You can climb it, go through it, or go around it, but never turn back. There is gain at the end, don't run from the pain.
