My Own Worst
Enemy
A long time ago, I met a close friend of mine
who introduce me to network marketing program which he was
doing very well. I told myself, if he could do it, then I could
do better than him.
But I failed and I put the blame on others
except myself!
Did you ever asked yourself
"who is my own worst enemy"?
Do you consider criminals roaming the dark
street as your worst enemy? How about your boss who's killing
you mentally and emotionally with stress and harsh words?
The people in office who are engaging in graft
and corruption, instead of helping those in need?
When something failed to work, we have many
implications of who our enemies are; but we have one common foe
who is the main cause of our failures and misfortunes, and
we're not even aware of this opponent.
You should admit it and admit it by saying to
yourself "I am my own worst enemy". Take for instance you are
leading a few other colleagues in an important project for your
company you work for.
You and your team belongs to the steering committee but
things seem to go wrong everywhere. Who do you blame when
something goes wrong?
You blame the people around you, the weather, maybe even
God. But we are the ones who are in control of ourselves. We
can change the outcome of our lives because we have the
capacity to do that.
Ask yourself, it is our fear, jealousy, greed, etc.
that is ruining our lives. Some people who
never managed to get out of poverty blame the government or
their jobs.
Some even take their anger and frustration to the streets
and wave their banners in demonstration in front of parliament
house. But they're too afraid to try out new ventures that may
improve their lives.
They drag themselves to go to work on their 9 to 5 jobs.
Then when the day is done, they watch TV and go out aimlessly
having fun without seriously thinking of what great opportunity
the future has in store for them, if only they would try to do
something different with their lives.
Fear is your worst enemy...
Fear has caused many to remain frigid and to never go out
exploring the wonderful things this world has to offer. Lots of
people would rather stay where they are in an unsatisfied state
than to risk difficulties and obstacles for the sake of
attaining their dreams.
They find excuses for themselves not to try anything new.
Before they even start, they start telling themselves that
their family will not support their idea anyway, and so they
never take any action.
Jealousy and envy has also caused some relationship
problems. Some people immediately jump to conclusions
without first analyzing the situation.
They let their sudden emotions control their behaviors
without even thinking of the consequences that may result. As a
result, if they're having problems with their relationships,
they have no one else to blame but themselves.
They have themselves to blame, if their lives are not
getting any better.
This goes to show that we decide what will happen to us and
we can control the outcome. Even under circumstances that are
beyond our control, like natural calamities, we can still
utilize to our best advantage the things that we have control
of.
For instance, you got rejected by your dream girl. Some
would just get drunk and feel miserable, thinking that it's the
end of the world.
Some will move onwards with their lives and find the best in
what remains with them. See? It's really up to you. You decide
if you want to have a good life or not.
You failed in your exams? So what? There's
always another opportunity. Either you just sulk in sorrow or
you can study harder to get a high score in the future. It's
really up to you.
Don't cry over spilled milk. Concentrate on
how you could get better in the future instead of get
frustrated over your misfortunes. .
If we encounter problems, we can either
succumb to it, or we can treat it as an opportunity to become
stronger and to become better individuals.
Winners would always treat their dilemmas as opportunities
while losers would see problems in every opportunity and run
away without a second thought.
Oh yes. As yourself again "Who is my own
worst enemy?". But your worst enemy can also be your best
friend. It's all up to you!
There are many companies which are making medicines for
personal use but for strong body structure high
iron foods are the best.
You can use vitamin supplement to
boost your stamina and it also helps in body development. The
lack of
b12 vitamin can make your bones weak so you should have
sufficient intake of this vitamins. For better health you
should take
vitamin e regularly.
