The another exercise asks me to pause and reflect: what truly stops me from experiencing the satisfaction, happiness, and joy I long for?

Some of the barriers come from the outside. For years, I gave too much of myself to work, answering emails late at night and on weekends because I felt I had to. Today, I’ve drawn new boundaries. I no longer feel pressured—I choose when to give my time, and that shift has already given me back a little freedom.

Noise and distractions used to overwhelm me too. But now I create my own quiet space, with headphones playing natural sounds, soft music, or affirmations that guide me back to focus and calm.

And then there is distance. Being far from the people I love—especially in romance—sometimes leaves an ache. Yet I remind myself gently: what is meant for me will always find its way.

But as I look deeper, I realize these external challenges aren’t the greatest obstacles. The real ones live within me.

I’ve felt the sting of criticism and comparison, and for a long time, I let those voices weigh me down. Now I remind myself: what others say reflects who they are, not who I am. As long as I live true to my values and walk toward the person I want to become, their words cannot define me.

The biggest barrier, however, has always been fear and the limiting beliefs I’ve carried – The Inner Wall. Fear that I won’t achieve the life I dream of. Fear that if I expect too much, disappointment will feel heavier. The belief that I can’t have it all—that I must choose between career, family, love, or friendship. Through this journey of manifestation, I’ve begun to see life differently. I’ve started to believe in abundance—that there is more than enough goodness in this world for everyone. That we can all create the life we truly desire.

Even when the world seems to stand in the way, I know the greatest stopper is still me. And that means I can change it.

And when fear rises again, I return to the power of visualization. The more vividly I see my dream life in my mind, the closer I feel to holding it in my hands.

As Bob Proctor once said:
“If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand.”

Thank you.
