Looking Past the Dead Bugs

Do you see all the dead bugs on the windshield  of this picture?
This past weekend, we we driving back from a 2 week vacation (thus my lack of posts), and as we traversed from the North of France to the South at 130km/h, we collided with many insects. 
I took this picture, after a bathroom break and a switch in drivers. I couldn't believe that the windshield was so disgusting.
As the driver, though, the mess on the screen didn't impede me at all. I was looking straight past the dead bugs and other shit in front of me, in order to successfully navigate the road. 
It was only after I shifted perspective that I was able to see how bad it was.
Unfortunately, we often get it the reverse.
We tend to focus so much on the dead bugs and other shit in front of us, that we can't see the road and navigate through with any speed or accuracy. 
Some of the current "dead bugs" in my life are:

•  The voice of my inner critic
• My fears of "abandoning" my children if my business expands
• My husband's bad moods and stresses about money
• My apparent "lack of time" to get it all done
• My pull to follow all the shiny ideas that jump into my brain without thinking them through
• The apparent "failure" that ensues when I jump on an idea to quickly without pre-planning

And I know that if I focus on these thoughts and other "dead bugs", I will be blinded, unable to see my destination. Unable to make the kind of contribution that I want to make on the world. Unable to grow personally and professionally. Unable to step into the amazingness that I know is within me. 
Each day, I need to pause, reflect, and clean off my windshield of the "dead bugs." Some days, it happens frequently.
It takes mindfulness and intention.
What about you? 
Are you focusing on the dead bugs and shit on your windscreen, or are you looking past them to the road ahead?
In possibility,
