Your greatest enemy

Hello,

today I'm going to be short.

Yesterday, I had a very long drive home. I was somewhere where the German twins spend their lives and the drive is about 600km long.

On the way I had to stop a couple of times to write emails and attend some conferences. Well it is not what I wanted.

I had some time to reflect why I'm behind on some projects, especially on the important ones and came to the conclusion that I'm most of the times fault for what happens to and around me.

You know that it is said that you are your greatest enemy and I have to say it is so true.

On most of the bad things that happened in my life it was me somewhere in time not taking the best decision or not acting decisively enough.

And all small things that we do on a daily count, from how much we sleep, to what we eat for breakfast to how much stress we let to affect us. On the other hand all the small choices make us as a whole.

The greatest gift can be our greatest problem, the free will.

It does not matter what do you believe in, this free will is there and is affecting your life. Every little choice comes from you, so you have to see that you are your greatest enemy.


What do you think about this?

Yes you are right!

The biggest enemy is always coming from inside.

Procrastination is the enemy of every antreprenorial spirit, and it's usually coming after some sort of success. I learned it the hard way... the bigger the problems/challenges, the more energy I putted in my business. But when I started to be successful, the more difficult it was to have things done.

Always anything wrong in my life is due to me and or my choices, but it isn't always easy to pick out which ones to change as every choice has a pay off and a risk.

I like this post and I wish more people talked about personal responsibility.

One of my least favorite things to see in others is making excuses.

Great post! I like your description and non deterministic view on free will. I believe that you really convey the balance. The opposition or challenge of the self described as enemy is deep.

Yes, we are the determinant of what happen around us.... What we believes in keep us moving or deter us in achieving our objectives....

Schlecht ist nur, keine Entscheidung zu treffen.

We make mistakes daily and there would always be a better choice. Here comes the difference between people.
I would rather be wrong than having a teacher for anything to lead me through this life.
