amor fati

does nietzsche's injunction "amor fati" imply he believed every obstacle that arises in life was an opportunity to grow towards one's full potential? (presumably the "ubermensch".) or is it more of a fatalistic acceptance of all the bad things that can happen, and a refusal to disgrace oneself with an immature objection to what is unavoidable?
one other, related point: one source on the web posits "amor fati" and "overman" as "conceptually antithetical." is that the case, or does one become the overman by exercising amor fati?
thanks for any help you can offer, and sorry if my ignorance rankles.
