derribar los obstáculos

Explanation:
Una idea, es lo primero que me ha venido a la mente al leer el original.
Dependerá de como se enfoque el resto de la frase (primera parte de la misma).
Y de paso, sería de agradecer que pusieras tu granito de arena ayudando más a menudo a otros colegas de vez en cuando...
Un saludo, A.
