What are your main obstacles between your current self and ideal self?

Mine is giving too much weight to emotions and allowing them to influence my actions, yet not learning enough from the (usually) negative bad experiences this path leads to.
My ideal self however isn't actually a fixed person, more a mentally of acceptance of change, emotional stability, and contentment. Anyone here achieved that, especially if you had a difficult past?

Being able to love with the full capacity with which I have to do so.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

I really like this... maybe through acknowledging that the things which apparently seem so fixed are ultimately not so fixed, it will then help to loosen things up a bit... allowing more of the ever present contentment to shine through.
I've found that quite often all that stands in the way of being true to yourself, is just your own thoughts.

Ever found a place/community/person you can be your true self around? Or is it more the constant deception you have to do that upsets you?

Both. It is the constant deception - on every part of who I am, I have to be deceptive in some way which is upsetting but I think I do it to myself half the time. On the community aspect (because of my circumstances) I have deeply religious Islamists and Muslims around me so I have to put on a shroud of deceptive - Allah is so so great.
Also, there are many times in my life where I was forced to pray - because of how important the cultural obligation IS - but throughout the whole prayer I am thinking about how absurd it all is and longing to get AWAY from all the allah'hu'akbars.
I am deceptive even to myself - there are huge mental barriers I have yet to cross. I am waiting for that time to reveal my true authentic self - rather than the mask I am forced to put on.
