Myself. I have OCD and it does interfere with every day life. Having said that, I am learning to manage it and, with some luck and determination, I should be able to overcome it and move forward in life. It isn't debilitating, but it does slow things down considerably.

I'm really good with who I am.
Although, lack of money is the obstacle that holds me back from doing what I would rather be doing.

My mental health, I set myself on track for quite a difficult career and it turned out that due to childhood trauma I just couldn't handle the stress long term. A shame really, I was good at what I did until I had my first break down 😟

Aww, I'm so sorry! It's good to hear that you put your emotional state over the job, even though I'm sure it was a tough decision.

Thank you, yes it was tough, but better than being sick.

With every day and every experience in my life, I am deciding what kind of person I will be..

2

Not knowing the person I want to be. I have no idea.

Hmmmm, probably about 5 million dollars. Just kidding. I am exactly who I want to be, and having a limited imagination, I cannot imagine being anyone else. So, there you go...

TIME!! This puzzle that is my life is only half finished. I would like to write a novel of some sort, I would LOVE to go on an expedition to Antarctica, I would like to run with the bulls once more....TIME!!

at 45, I can say I am the person I want to be at this point in my life. Now, doing the things I want to do is another story.

Perfect health. The most important thing in life.

1

The ability to travel faster than the speed of light. Other than that and having unlimited wealth. I can do anything within reason.

1

Me. Namely my self-confidence (or lack thereof, more accurately).

2

Tough question. I don't have an answer as I can not imagine being someone else. I am generally comfortable with who I am and realize the smallest tweaking of a personality/intelligence/etc. trait would likely produce a cascade of other characteristic changes with unforeseen consequences.

My mental health problems, lack of money, lack of transportation, and unstable living arrangements.

53 and content, Mea.

A few million dollars. I'm pretty much who I want to be, I just can't do all the things I want to do.

2

I lack more money than I need, I can't help others as I want to. I know you can't solve a problem by throwing money at it, I would like to improve the living conditions of people who need help through no fault of their own.

there isn't one

An overactive brain and anxiety. If I had the recources or ability to hone or control it, I'd probably be crushing life right now.

@silvereyes I’m trying 🙂. My solace is that I’ve already improved so much.

2

Myself. As an example I want to write a book but as much studying with how-to books and voracious reading I realized I was putting off the writing. The idea stays in my head. But in the past week I’ve realized if I do finish a piece it would expose who I am and that scares the shit out of me. I could make a fool out of myself. I’m always questioning myself.

2

Money. I need 15,946.327.58 Approx.

what if you had 15,946,327?

@btroje It would be okay. I'd borrow the rest.

Reality

I don't think there is any obstacle other than what is between my ears. Mindset plays a large role in this and there are ways to modify mindset.

yes anxiety for me

3

Since I would like to be a full-time world traveler, I would say the biggest obstacle is money. 🙂

2

Money is the Largest Obstacle Beacuse I feel guilty not being able to help people in my life that need me and need my help
