Life is what you make it. Now and again we come to a cross road in our lives and we have to make some very important decisions. Take what comes your way and deal with it the best way you can. If you are able to change anything without hurting anyone then do it. Barriers are there to test you and to see how strong a person you are.

Answer 10

The main barrier that gets in the way of life is our thoughts and the way that we view eachother and ourselves.

If we have predajuces or don't see others as equel, this leads to barriers to our lives.

The greatest barrier of all is not having love in our hearts for evryone that we meet. So many people are just wrapped up in there own lives so much that they cant see out side of the box. You see a homeless man and you walk on by and ignore him. We don't want to face the things that we dont like or want to accept.

If we can change the way we view the world, care for other people and generally be a good person then this will remove a lot of barriers in yr life.

Another barrier to life (emotional, as you asked) is not recogizing the way that we feel. If we are upset, instead of accepting that we are feeling down or sad we try to ignore the 'bad' feelings. Most people would say that they want to be happy, but how can you feel happy when you close off all the other feelings? Only when we feel everything will we achieve happiness and surely this is a barrier to life?

Money is only a barrier if you crave more than you can afford. We live in a society that wants more and more, but think about it, do you really need that extra pair of shoes? The answer is proberely not, so having the insight and self realization of this will take away this barrier that you have created in yr own mind.

And that's the key really, most of the barriers in life are in our own immagination. We feel like we cant make it, were not good enough, not loved, wanted needed...the list goes on and on.

But the fact is, we all can make it, we are all loved and needed. And accepting that you are fine just the way you are is a great relief!!

So, in snswer to yr queston, the greatest barrier to life is what we think and feel, so look at this and have a deeper understanding of yr self. Know thyself.

Good luck, I hope l have given you some ideas?
