Who do you consider as your worst enemy?  The criminals roaming
the dark streets?  Your boss who's killing you mentally and
emotionally with stress and harsh words?  The people in office
who are engaging in graft and corruption, instead of helping
those in need?

We have many implications of who our enemies are; but we have
one common foe who is the main cause of our failures and
misfortunes, and we're not even aware of this opponent.

You may not want to admit it, but our worst enemy is ourselves.

Who do you blame when something goes wrong?  You blame the people
around you, the weather, maybe even God.  But we are the ones who
are in control of ourselves.  We can change the outcome of our
lives because we have the capacity to do that.
 
It is our fear, jealousy, greed, etc. that is ruining our lives.
Some people who never managed to get out of poverty blame the
government or their jobs.  But they're too afraid to try out
new ventures that may improve their lives.  They half-heartedly
go to work on their 9 to 5 job.  Then when the day is done, they
watch TV and go out aimlessly having fun without seriously
thinking of what great opportunity the future has in store for
them, if only they would try to do something different with their
lives.

Fear has caused many to remain frigid and to never go out 
exploring the wonderful things this world has to offer.
Lots of people would rather stay where they are in an
unsatisfied state than to risk difficulties and obstacles
for the sake of attaining their dreams.

If their lives are not getting any better, they have no else
to blame but themselves.

Jealousy and envy has also caused some relationship problems.
Some people immediately jump to conclusions without first
analyzing the situation.  They let their sudden emotions
control their behaviors without even thinking of the
consequences that may result.

If they're having problems with their relationships, they
have no else to blame but themselves.

This goes to show that we decide what will happen to us.  Of
course, there are circumstances that are beyond our control,
like natural calamities.  But we can still utilize to our best
advantage the things that we have control of.

For instance, you got rejected by your dream girl.  Some
people would just get drunk and feel miserable, thinking that
it's the end of the world.  Some will move onwards with their
lives and find the best in what remains with them.  See?  It's
really up to you.  You decide if you want to have a good life
or not.

You failed in your exams?  So what?  There's another
opportunity.  You can just sulk in sorrow or you can study
harder to get a high score in the future.  It's up to you.

There's no use crying over spilled milk.  You don't have to
get frustrated over your misfortunes.  Concentrate on how
you could get better in the future. 

If we encounter problems, we can either succumb to it, or we
can treat it as an opportunity to become stronger and to
become better individuals.  Winners would always treat their
dilemmas as opportunities.

Oh yes.  We can be our worst enemy, but we can also be our
best friend.  It's all up to you!
