Here are just some of the barriers I think are getting in my way:
1. Confidence - maybe I'm just not all that good, what will others think
2. Over complicating things - this is a biggy I feel like I need to know everything before I embark on something new and that I am always looking for the things that could go wrong and then talking myself out of it.
3. "Someone else has already done it" -having an idea then searching extensively until I find someone who has done something similar and talking myself out of it as I believe that they have already done it to a decent standard.
3. Fear - what happens if things don't work out
4. Avoidance - due to the above reasons I make many many excuses a to why I would need to wait.
Those aren't barriers, those are excuses. As cliche as it sounds, you just don't want it or need it bad enough yet. That's what it really boils down to for 98.5% of the people who haven't accomplished something they wanted to yet. I have a ton of reasons why I'm not built like The Rock. I'm an ectomorph, my genetics, my dad was skinny, etc. Fact of the matter is, I don't want to look like The Rock bad enough, end of story.
Put it this way, pretend someone takes your partner hostage tomorrow, and you get a ransom note telling you that if you don't accomplish what you want to accomplish in 3 months, that person will be executed.
What happens then? What happens to your "confidence"? And your "fear"? "Avoidance"? Do you just let them die then, since it was too complicated to do what you needed to do, so you rather just let your loved one die?
My guess is all the petty excuses go out the window, and nothing else will F*cking matter but keeping them alive.
That's when you'll accomplish those things, when nothing else F*cking matters.
