On a symbolic level what obstacles could one encounter?

Finding One's Self... a difficult journey to be sure. One that is filled with every obstacle imaginable... but each obstacle leads you down a new path (a corrected path, if you will) towards your true and final self. Every experience your encounter, every new face, place, fear, love.... everything takes you away from who you are not and brings you to who you are for truth. The journey is a long one, and you won't know you are at it's end until the light begins to fade from your eyes at the end of your waking journey. But "life" doesn't end there, but begins anew.... but that is a different discussion.

Its a life time journey. Everything you live through can be an obstacle. Every obstacle is there to help you find your true identity. When you find it and really BE yourself, other level starts.

That u would like to beginn a journey in yourself to find who u are... what u like ... in what u believe... in who u trust...
That is a very wonderful and interesting journey.. that makes u discover a lot of things about u...
There will be moments that u have to go deep in your mind and heart and discover that there is something in your past that you didn't solve.. and still today you are paying the consequenses.. and when you will front these unsolved things you will be mad, sad and sorrow... but just taking out your bad things you will become a better person and live your life with more peace on mind, making good decision for yourself.. without anykind of fear..
Then you will learn how to be happy with yourself how to love your self accepting the good and the bad of yourself... knowing your limits...
Good journey.. it will be wonderfull

a journey to discover who you are. many times your self (we call it "nafs" in arabic) is THE obstacle, reluctant to give you true info that would imply it'll have to change for the better. your nafs doesn't like that so it strives to keep you down and veil your heart if you ask it too many questions and are really honest in wanting to change. secret is to keep trying and you'll eventually weary it and get the accurate info about your true self.
this has to be the biggest and hardest battle one would ever wage in his/her lifetime.

It is a journey of discovery about one's self.
Obstacles of life that can for most part be overcome.

The problem is.....you can not see yourself. You compare everything with something else. How can you see the difference in something thats always there but invisible? Your identity is your greatest blindspot.
