Are you your own worst enemy?

Hiya Pose. Good topic here.. sometimes I think that I'm my own worst enemy too. Meaning.. I like to procrastinate a lot and sometimes I need to get things done a.s.a.p, so to procrastinate can really be that weak moment for me.

I do agree that sometimes we are ourselves worst enemies We pretend high standard of living, want nice houses, nice cars, luxuries which have become a necessity in today's world. So our life have become a continuous chase for money, and success. This creates a lot of stress on us at the cost our mental health. Sometimes we gain financial wealth at the expense of harmony, piece and our self inner peace. I do think that if we wanted to be treated nice we have to treat other in a friendly manner

Most of the times, we are the ones putting limitations on ourselves.

If you haven't already, y'all should lend an ear to "Oscar Wilde" by Company of Thieves on YouTube. Rather than reading yet another intimidating wall of words on this page, you may enjoy listening to this relevant work.

I certainly agree with you. Though there are factors affecting our decisions in life, actions and even what comes out our mouth in the end it is still us who will decide for our self. Sometimes it is hard to make a decision especilly if there is a battle going on within our self. The hardest battle I sometimes experience is the battle between my pride and harmony. If for example it turned out that I was the one at fault and I know I have to say sorry to my husband it is sometimes hard to approach him and tell him, "I'm sorry." It's like if I will do it I will die. However, once you did the right thing everything else becomes easier and things turn out well. :) Everyday is a battle between me and my inner self.

Yes.. but in a positive ways.. i know i have some bad habits and they are my worst enemy that i am trying to get rid of.. i think everyone has the same problems with me.. it is just the way we need to improve ourselves... so the answer is yes

Yes I agree! great post Pose123, the mind is what we are, it's our spirit, our selves.

Well me I have never thought of me actually being my own worst enemy still I see what you are saying. I feel though that I actually help myself and am sometimes the person that I feel that I can trust is myself.

hi again Pose! yes, sometime we are really our worst enemies just because of the weakness you have already mentioned. and yes, I have been my worst enemy few times, in some moments of doubt about what to do in some really important situations like taking some decisions. So the last time was few months ago, when I have to decided should I stay in my home town and not moving because of my education, or move and lose my girlfriend. SO that was a really long period of doubt, and I missed the deadlines in one university, but i can tell you that I decided to move, because if that girl loved me real than she should come with me.

Yes I do believe this. I strongly believe that the outcome of one's life start's with himself. I know how mean I can get. Sometimes, I have a hard time controlling my temper. I am a lunatic. Paranoid. These negativity can hurt other people. I am aware of all my bad sides. That's why I believe that in any heated argument, I must keep myself from answering back. Just be silent. Because I know that when I start talking, it would surely cut like a knife. And once I let that happen, then I will end up hurting other people. End up feeling guilty that I let a word out. So it's always a battle between me and myself.

I don't think I might be my own worst enemy. First, I don't have any enemies, or I sure can't think of any, to include myself. I think I'm pretty good to myself as well as to others. I can't think of any fears that I may have, either. Sometimes I may doubt myself in a new situation, but it doesn't last very long.

Absolutely I am my own worst enemy- "I" being "my thoughts", mostly. I have found this to be even more true since I have been pregnant... good grief. Once I allow a negative thought or a fear to take root, it is so hard to get conquer it. I think worry is the hardest. I'll have a dream at night about something terrible happening, and then for the whole next day I can't get the images out of my mind. And then the "what-if's" that come along with it... ug. So yes, I agree.

do you know the sentence the most dangerous enemy to you is not anybody but yourself .bad habit is something we are difficult to change .that is why the Japanese student always say "we change our thinking to change our habit ,we change our habit to change our future "
