When I meet a woman whose energy falters at the first barrier,she seems to fade beside my mother. The phrase "first barrier" is a very specific meaning of the word "barrier." It refers to an imaginary wall that stands in the way of our goals and dreams. If we cannot overcome this wall, we will never reach our goals and dreams. There are often many such barriers in the way of our goals and dreams. We must learn to overcome all of them.
