===========================================================
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.
We aren't born that way nor do we mean to be that way, but it can often come about because of our past experiences, what someone may have told us, what we've read in
papers… and then without realising, we develop these inner enemies. How many of them can you identify with?
(1) The Confused Indecision-maker You will often hear
Confused Indecision-Maker complaining about
way things are, and how much better it would be if things were different. It's often "someone else's" fault too. But if you stopped them and asked, "What do you want then?" they usually find it hard to give you an answer. They know what they don't want, but they don't know what they do want. As a result, they don't make decisions that will take them closer to what they want, nor do they recognise it when what they want is staring them between
eyes.
(2) The Historian There are three aspects to
Historian. The first is that historians think that because it hasn't happened in
past or that they haven't made it happen in
past, that it won't happen in
future. The second aspect is that they keep on thinking with
same mindset as in
past, and so never begin to see things with a new perspective or come up with new ideas. And
third is that they are continually bemoaning how wonderful things were in "the good old days" that they fail to notice what's good about today.
(3) The Doubting Thomas One of
favourite utterances of
Doubting Thomas is, "See! I told you so!" The Doubting Thomas is
person who either thinks that it can't be done or that they can't do it. So they don't put any effort into getting what they want, and then, when it doesn't happen, they get to be right! At other times,
Doubting Thomas may well put effort into getting what they want, but then spend their time worrying about it and wondering if it will ever happen. This causes them to feel stressed and tired.
