Sometimes the answer is just to let go. We try so hard to make things happen.  We push ourselves, we are in action in our lives, and we are doing our part to create what it is we want to happen.  Somewhere in there we inadvertently pick up some things that are actually impeding what we want. We create barriers with all our actions where we do not intend to create an obstruction. It is hard for us to wrap our minds around it because we cannot imagine why we would intentionally set up barriers to something we want to happen.  However, most of our barriers are internal.  We do not intentionally set out to obstruct our own goals.  There is a part of ourselves that may be thinking ahead to what will happen if we get what we want and it is not in alignment with it.  It might cause us to change how we see ourselves. It might require us to step up responsibility and we are overwhelmed by there mere thought of responsibility. Even with all the planning we do, we may not see these inner barriers until they reveal themselves in the process.  It does not mean we have failed or we will not be able to get where we are going. It simply means our hearts have a slightly different pathway for us to travel than our minds.  These barriers which we find ourselves frustrated by are simply parts of ourselves calling out for some love and attention.  Almost like little children who need to be heard.  Talking over them or forcing this part of ourselves may not do the trick.  It may for a time but wouldn’t we rather get to wherever we see ourselves going as a more whole person than when we started on the journey? That is all the barriers are calling for.  They want to join in and ride along.  God has shown me on our daily dates the more I open up to the messages of my internal barriers, the more I can grow my heart and become the person I am meant to be.
