What would you do, if there were no barriers, obstacles blocking your path to your dreams/desires?

Question

Sometimes in life the things we want and need is out of our reach for many reasons. Those reasons I call barriers or obstacles…such as Money, Opportunity, Access, and Support etc.

It is said that the key is to never stop dreaming; reaching, hoping however the trick is remembering that when life happens and you forget to exhale.

Answer 1

U seem already on the way to your dreams...U sound really focused...this is exactly what I did...and it worked...never stop dreaming...I ask myself everyday...OK, what can I do today to bring me just a little more to my goal...make your plan..focus...dont let any body ever distract or discourage U...better jet ...don't tell ppl...'cuz ppl have a tenancy to want to see U fail...it makes "them" feel better...good luck to U

Answer 2

i like this question because my life is NOTHING as I want it to be and I am completely stuck where I'm at. I work for my next door neighbor making so little money I can hardly pay my bills. But I also cannot stop working for this man because I have no car and don't live by a bus line. I have no money saved up to change my path so I am stuck on a road I do not want to be on. This road has caused me to loose a woman I love more than anything in the world, miss out on opertunities that have come my way but still just far enough out of my reach to remain un-seizable.

If any one of the X factors that are holding me back were eliminated, I could get on a different road. One that would take me to my dreams of being a fireman and owning my own local clothing line.

I never EVER forget about my dreams, that way if the day comes when life throws me a bone, I wont forget what to do with it. I can then go the distance, and the sky is the limit!

Answer 3

I am glad that my will is strong. If not, I never would have prevailed. If I had no barriers, I would be writing and selling my books so that I could fulfill my long-time dream of philanthropy. I am starting out slowly in July. We shall see. A part of the monies received will go to The American Red Cross who helped me when my apartment burned down. I was 19, didn't have renter's insurance (most kids don't think about that) and after the fire I had nowhere to go and I didn't know what to do. I didn't even own a toothbrush. The American Red Cross helped 12 families (including me and my two roomates) with the basics and relief funds. I have a soft spot for them and volunteer when I can. But if I could have anything without obstacles, my dream is to build orphanages. I know that word conjures up awful thoughts, but not at my orphanages. My backing would be such as to never let a child go to foster care (Their are many fine people who are foster parents and very good ones but I wouldn't want my kids floating around waiting for a possible adoption). No. At my orphanages, we would have the best and I would pay my employees top dollar for their fine services. Of course, getting hired would be stringent. And my contract would not allow much past unconditional love to all of the children. If they have to grow up there, so be it. And they wouldn't be orphans. They would be my children. I would put them through college or trade school. I would allow adoption under specific conditions. And I never lose sight of that dream. In 2002, my kids and I prayed over a lottery ticket because they know about their Mother's dreams. I'll spend all of my life to make it come to fruition. But that is what I'd do. Spend my life around wee little babies and kids as they grow up into fine humans that had me, the rest of my family, and my staff to lean on no matter what. And I would help them find the birth parents, should they want to. If they asked me, I would help as much as possible. I just want a life of Philanthropy and I want my orphanages. I would, however, come up with a better name. The Red Cross would always get donations, too. They really do their job in helping. Without them, the outlook would have been grim for awhile.

Answer 4

If all the obstacles blocking my path to my dreams were gone, I'd probably not want those things anymore. Part of the dream is not being able to easily get them. The stuff that comes easy is the stuff we usually take for granted.

Answer 5

I probably would have become a doctor such as a surgeon because they save people's lives and make a lot of money; or I would have become a veterinarian because I just love all animals and would love to take care of them. However, I never could because I am a squeamish person. I am so squeamish I am the squeamish of the squeamish.

Answer 6

I'd go after them. Why sit there and stare at my dreams and desires if there is nothing in between us? It makes no sense. I'd run to it till it was in my hand and it was finally full-filled. Great question by the way. I haven't come across a question that good since I joined the ask planet!!

Answer 7

If I had no barriers, I'd have a good career and a nice little house. Nothing big and fancy - just cozy and nice. And I want healthcare, damnit! I'd buy my wife that Jeep she's been wanting, and we'd travel and see some other places besides home. I wish I could give her a baby, but I can't.

Answer 8

probably time. i have been waiting for a three hundred and sixty 5 days and a 0.5 for my patent to go back through, and that i listen it takes 2 or 3 years. yet at the same time as it does, then i will promote it. I easily have yet another in Maryland already, besides the undeniable fact that it has a lot longer to bypass, and would in uncomplicated phrases promote for per chance a fifth of the first. in the intervening time, I might want to bypass to grad college.

Answer 9

I'd be disappointed. Half of the fun, whether we admit it or not, is in the work. If we look back and we never struggled to pay the bills, work a job on the side and ultimately make it when we least expect it, the endpoint would just be worthless.

Answer 10

I would read all the books, listen to all the CDs, watch all the movies that ever interested me. I would learn as many languages as my brain could hold. I would develop a sense of style & I would learn to make a delicious meal from scratch. I would go dancing as often as possible & find a great partner who's not content to just watch.

Answer 11

you have to look at this question from various viewpoints. Alot of our barriers are relted to other people. so if we removed all bariers from everyone then we sould constantly be coming in contact with other peofple and their wills, this comes to the problem of Neitzche and his will to power, then only the strongest would get anything, and new barriers woudl arise for the weaker members of society, so this question is moot for by removing bariers we create new ones.
