To be in someone's way or To plant weeds in someone's path

Explanation:
To be in someone's way or To plant weeds in someone's path

This question was asked by someone earlier today. I asked if it could be put in context since it would be more helpful.

"To be in someone's way"

The expression, as I understand it, is referring to someone who is creating obsticles for someone or for his/her own self depending on the context.

A figurative, literary translation would be

"To plant weeds in someone's path"
