ALLIES TURN FOES.
Imagine you having to fight a battle, and to win that battle you need to plan and strategise effectively and efficiently. While planning you discovered that it would be difficult to win that battle without creating alliances. In a bid towards creating a stronger army you reached out to people who you think would be worthy allies, and they responded. You planned and strategised together on how to defeat this common enemy. On the day of the battle when all parties file out on the battlefield, your supposed ally is standing right beside your opponent.
It was Winston Churchill who said, "We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests." Some people are barely your friend, not for a cause that is just or mutually beneficial, but for the fulfillment of their own personal aims and ambitions.
You must be careful how you let people into your inner circle. You cannot be sure of everyone that present themselves to you as a friend, they may be enemies who have come to destroy you from within. Life is a personal journey, but succeeding in life requires the support of trusted and honest allies who share the same vision and passion without placing personal achievements over team success.
Choose your friends wisely, those who have sworn to stand by you in every situation can deny you to your very face within a very short time. So, whatever you do in life, take a stand, and remain unshakable. Fight for what belongs to you or that which you strongly desire. You are your own only best friend, and loyal ally.
