Barriers can be anything or anyone that stands in the way of you living your own life in the manner that you choose.    Making up excuses, or “little white lies” can be a way to say “No” to life and be deposited in someone else’s desires for you.  Sometimes we say “Yes” when we’d rather say “No” and we allow another to be directly in our lives.  If we do more of what others want for us, then we have failed to live according to our nature, as a human being, by failing to use our conscious minds.  Oftentimes, we default to laziness and just “go along to get along” so we don’t have to encounter discord (stress).

 Discord allows us to think, to reason things through, and avoiding or attacking situations and people, does not allow the real you to come through.  With this gift of life (the human conscious mind), we have the need to think independently according to our biological natures.  Determine whether your thoughts and actions are based in stress or love.  This is a simple tool (a litmus test) to see if you are living the life you are meant to live.  By doing so, you also allow others around you to do the same.
