The Biggest Battles Are With Yourself

It is said that the biggest enemy is yourself, your own mind, and that is true. Most of the times, not the people around you stop you from doing what you want, or being who you want to be, but you are sabotaging yourself.

Have you noticed how when someone is telling you that you can't do something, that you won't succeed, that no one could and for sure you won't either - you get stronger, you get that feeling of "I can, no one did it before because there was no one like me, you'll see that I am the one who will make it, I'll prove you wrong". And you truly feel that adrenaline rush, the sense that you are truly going to succeed, and they will see that you had what it takes to make that.

When others fight you, you fight harder than you ever thought you had it in you. And that makes you feel stronger, and it pushes you further.

But, when your mind is the one fighting you, you cave in so fast that you can almost see yourself crawling like a baby, adopting the fetus position, trying to protect yourself. And, unfortunately, most of the times you give up fighting. You can't rationalize with yourself. But you should.

What does your heart tell you? How does it make you feel inside when you think about doing that thing, making that change, being that person? See yourself there: doing that, being that. How do you feel? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel like that is what you should be, or where you should be? Doing exactly that? Do you feel a sense of calm and peace when you see yourself there?

Then THAT is what you should listen to.

If when you imagine yourself there, it makes you feel good, calm and relaxed, that is where you are supposed to be. That is what YOU are supposed to be. So BE THAT.

Forget about what your mind is telling you. We are programmed to protect ourselves from hurt and failure, and this is why your mind is trying to stop you. But when you feel serenity inside and outside your body when you are imagining yourself there, than THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO, or BE.

So, BE THAT. Stop thinking about it, and start acting about it. Always keep in mind where you want to be, and how it makes you feel, and go BE THAT.
