Day 214 of wisdom
“We carry our worst enemies within us.”
Charles Spurgeon
There can be no worse enemy to a man than himself. The thoughts, actions, behavior, and attitude of a man are the instruments that either make, or mar him. No one man can affect another man's life so much to alter the course of his life except he allows it as the man himself, he determines the outcome of his life by his actions, inaction, attitude, and behaviour.
We can choose the kind of life we want by carefully choosing the kind of thoughts that we allow into our minds, we are the key to whatever we become, or will become in life. As Gautama Buddha once said "Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts." The greatest harm that can come upon any man is the one he allows, or brings upon himself through his thoughts.
In the words of Lisa Kleypas "You are your own worst enemy. If you can learn to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself and others, you may find the happiness that has always eluded you." We can live happy, and fulfilling lives if we cease to expect too much from our self, and the people around us, if we can allow our selves to do our best in all we do we will surely be better individuals.
Chaka Khan said, "I control my life and I have never let success run away with me - I've taken it and ran. And the only thing that could threaten my stability is me - I'm my only threat and my own worst enemy. Beyond that, I don't feel successful. I'm nowhere near where I plan to be as far as my goals." You determine your life, you determine what comes out of it, make the best out of it.
