Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. We aren't born that way nor do we mean to be that way, butit can often come about because of our past experiences,what someone may have told us, what we've read in thepapers… and then without realising, we develop these innerenemies. How many of them can you identify with?

(1) The Confused Indecision-makerYou will often hear the Confused Indecision-Makercomplaining about the way things are, and how much better itwould be if things were different. It's often "someoneelse's" fault too. But if you stopped them and asked, "Whatdo you want then?" they usually find it hard to give you ananswer. They know what they don't want, but they don't knowwhat they do want. As a result, they don't make decisionsthat will take them closer to what they want, nor do theyrecognise it when what they want is staring them between theeyes.

(2) The HistorianThere are three aspects to the Historian. The first is thathistorians think that because it hasn't happened in the pastor that they haven't made it happen in the past, that itwon't happen in the future. The second aspect is that theykeep on thinking with the same mindset as in the past, andso never begin to see things with a new perspective or comeup with new ideas. And the third is that they arecontinually bemoaning how wonderful things were in "the goodold days" that they fail to notice what's good about today.

(3) The Doubting ThomasOne of the favourite utterances of the Doubting Thomas is,"See! I told you so!" The Doubting Thomas is the person whoeither thinks that it can't be done or that they can't doit. So they don't put any effort into getting what theywant, and then, when it doesn't happen, they get to beright! At other times, the Doubting Thomas may well puteffort into getting what they want, but then spend theirtime worrying about it and wondering if it will ever happen.This causes them to feel stressed and tired.

(4) The Scaredy CatPart of the "price" for achieving our goals is to moveoutside of our comfort zone and to do some new things thatwe may not have undertaken before. The reward is that thishelps us to grow as a person. It takes us to new heights,while also enabling us to experience adventure and fun. TheScaredy Cat though, will prefer to stand on the sidelines,watching others do what they do and marvel at how courageousand clever other people are. Often, Scaredy Cats are greatat cheering others on, and they may "excuse" themselves fornot venturing out of their comfort zones by being "modest".But deep down, they may secretly wish that they were braveenough themselves too… if only they could overcome theirfear of failure.

(5) The Scatterbrain"Roll up, roll up! This is the latest and the greatest!" Sothe Scattergun diverts their attention yet again to thelatest good idea and that becomes their new goal. Thetrouble is that they haven't allowed sufficient time fortheir earlier ideas to germinate and to take root, not tomention taking appropriate action, before they are offagain, chasing the next rainbow. So, be willing to meet your enemies face to face! Greetthem! Thank them for having been there in the past, but nowbe courageous enough to bid them good-bye. And in theirplace, embrace the person you want to become.
