My worst enemy

by degcommunications
8 replies
Over the years I have come to realize, sometimes painfully, that I am the biggest obstacle and problem in my life. If I were to get out of my own way and allow myself to do what needs done I would be so much better off almost all the time.

What enemies do some of you have as well that might open our own eyes to demons we need to deal with but didn't know were there.

    I was sad to say my biggest enemy was myself until I got happy about it. You see I realized that I have the ability to be my biggest friend. It's all a mindset and it really is as simple as saying "anything is possible as long as I make it so."

    The best thing that I learned about enemies is that they are there to teach you something about yourself.

    What Zahra and Vendetta have said is right. How you talk to yourself and about yourself is critical. All language that you use (including thoughts) is framing your world. Be attentive to the way you talk about things. Every time you talk about (or think about) how you need to get out of your own way, you will just keep creating that problem for yourself.

    Try re-framing your perspective to be: I'm much more efficient now that I work in synergy with myself.

      I try not to think of myself as my enemy (because it's negative), but rather as my friend by focusing on the things that enhance by success. At the same time I also acknowledge my weaknesses and shortcomings and develop a plan to make them less of a road block.

    Plans are useless unless they are followed Keep those negative thoughts miles away. If you think you cant do it. Package that "I cant" into a little box. Visualize the words I CANT going into that box. Now shrink that box until its so tiny you cant see it anymore. Now blow that box away. Congratulations your mind is free. Repeate this every time you get a negative thought in your head and you are gonna be a positive thinker in a matter of days not weeks.

    I agree with the words spoken "conquer ones self before conquering the world" If you try and do it the reverse even if you conquer the world your still delaying your happiness. This is far more important than JUST making money. We are talking about inner peace.

    My enemy is a failure, so I have to fight for getting success.
    But you can not get success instantly, there is a long way must be passed.

    Who says success cant be gotten instantly? IS it time? Is it a man? Is it a law?

    If you believe that you can make a million dollars in a week. You can make a million dollars in a week. Don't limit yourself.
