What’s on the other side of the wall?

If you keep bumping your head against a brick wall, then what’s on the other side?
Is it as common as everybody else? Which is -financial freedom? That no matter how hard we work, or how hard we move money around, we keep hitting this wall.
Would you want to put up your own business? And the wall is -capital, or the knowledge of how to go about starting the business?
Or is it something else? Is the wall -creativity, and on the other side is you getting published? Or writing your first novel? Or coming up with your masterpiece of a painting?
I have all those walls above too! But today my wall is not as tall, yet a brick wall still. It’s the 3 o’clock-hunger-wall, and on the other side is getting through the rest of the afternoon without stuffing my face again.
How about you?

For us I think that the other side of our brick wall is financial freedom. In the nine years that my husband and I have been together we have proven that it can be done and we are able to scale that wall that is called debt. However, right now we are in the most debt that we've ever been in during our life together. We have both a house and the stupid tax that we have to pay off. I know that we will be able to do it, but it seems like the harder we try, the more difficult it gets. I can't wait for the day to come when the only bills that we have to pay are utilities and for the things that we need and want.

I think it helps that you've done it before and you're better at it. At scaling that 'debt' wall. I'm sure that if only everything holds up, you'll be soon over it. Even the stupid tax which just makes the wall even higher (this really sounds so familiar, as the thing I'm going through myself).
Thanks!

The next time this happens , have a snack. A small enough snack that won't ruin your dinner!I would love more money but I don't have a dream of having my own business. Or being my own boss. Sorry.

In all honesty I am over-forcing myself to even type today. I am so overwhelmed by the thick double coated wall in life right now that I feel completely out of it.
Seems no matter how hard that brick wall just won't even begin to chip.
