Enemy?
Do you know what or who your enemy is?
When I say enemy, I am not necessarily only talking about a person. An enemy could be a mindset, a challenge, an obstacle, a roadblock, something that you lack.
In other words, an enemy is something or someone that stands in the way of where you are trying to go in life.
What is your enemy? Low self-esteem, finances, your past, a hidden secret, negative thoughts, and addiction, unworthiness, lack of confidence, loneliness, complaining, arrogance, a partner that is going the opposite way, a boss that does not appreciate you, co-workers that are jealous of you, a wayward child that consumes all of your time and money, family members that pull versus push, a health issue, etc., etc., etc.
As you can see, I can go on and on. Although the list above is filled with mostly negative thing, here’s the BIG positive- what’s worst than having numerous enemies is not knowing who or what your enemy is!
When you lose site of your enemy, you are in trouble.
I have seen friendships fall apart, because they lost site of the enemy. I’ve seen people go astray because they lost site of the enemy. I have seen some of the strongest relationships crumble, because they forgot about their enemy.
Listen and listen closely…One of the things that keep us growing and thriving is opposition (enemies). When there is no more opposition, one loses strength and becomes feeble. When that happens, the will to hope and conquer, attempt and succeed, and connect and cooperate dissolves, disappears, and fades away.
When you figure out what your challenge (enemy) is, whether it is within a relationship, on your job, or life in general- please write it down, frame it and keep it before your eyes. Never lose site of your enemy until it is defeated. When and only when that happens, you should never sit back to relax and enjoy the rest of life. No way. Find yourself another enemy. If not, you will start to attack yourself or those closest to you. Either way, the end could be detrimental.
