I've been told that I am my own worst ennemy but I am not too sure of what that means. I sometimes feel that some of my thoughts are sometimes mean towards myself and what i think or do. Is this what it means to me my own worst ennemy?

It could be that you are most critical of yourself or it could be that you do not make good decisions. Give yourself a break. Don't be so hard on yourself. At the same time, make good decision. Set goals and work toward those goals. But remember, it is the attempt (or the road traveled) that is most important. You will learn so much about yourself and others. Give it your best attempt and should you fail, don't lose lose the lesson.

definite I have had this adventure. I basically attempt to do what the Bible says and don't be conquer by potential of evil, yet conquer evil with sturdy. also it says do not change into weary in doing sturdy. trust interior the Lord on your advantages and not in any respect interior the guy that you're doing it for. Do it as unto the Lord. keep urgent ahead , my chum. If this individual is a determine, all the more effective reason to in uncomplicated words keep honoring and blessing them. It doesn't harm in case you're taking your hurts and emotions to the Lord in prayer. he will manage the offending social gathering. you basically keep being what you already know God needs you to be.God bless!!

Here's an illustration that may help you: A person who is his/her own worst critic is a person who constantly reviews things that he/she says and does, and he/she does so in an attempt to improve himself/herself. As a result, this type of person acknowledges the things he/she did "right" or "well" and looks for ways to improve on those things he/she did "wrong" or "not so well". A person who is their own worst enemy is also constantly reviewing things they say and do, but this person only looks at (and overemphasizes) the negative and is very destructive in their criticism.
See the difference? On one hand you have a person who realizes at a basic level that he/she is a good person and is looking for ways to improve, and on the other hand you have a person who believes at a basic level that he/she is a "bad" or "worthless" person and is constantly looking for evidence to support that, so anytime you say or do anything that can be perceived as "bad" or "wrong" by any stretch of the imagination you're telling yourself that you ARE "bad" or "wrong."
It's not an easy habit to break -- believe me, I was my own worst enemy for the first 30 years of my life -- so if you have problems believing in yourself then you should get counseling. It takes a big person to admit they need help, and it takes an even bigger person to get help and get better. Don't feel bad if this problem is too big for you to handle on your own. If you look to others or to your accomplishments to validate your self-worth you'll always feel that you're not good enough, so you have to generate your own self-worth by knowing in your heart that you are good. If you just can't do that by yourself, get help.

It just means that you don't give yourself enough credit. You are smarter than you think. You should be more confident in yourself because you are more capable of doing what need to be done than you think you are. And that self-talk that goes on in your head, you probably put yourself down when you should tell yourself how great you are.

The choice is yours: Chaos or cosmos

Raghunath was a wealthy man. He was rich materially and spiritually. One night he was robbed. His close friend visited him and expressed his sympathy.
Raghunath said, "They have robbed me of my material wealth but not my real wealth. They have robbed me of my perishable wealth but not my imperishable wealth".
Real wealth is love, devotion and purity. With these, one will experience life differently. God gives us problems to humble us and not to tumble us. When bad things happen to good people they become better, not bitter.
Raghunath further elaborated to his friend, "All the wealth that I had was a loan from the Lord. I was only a trustee. Nothing is mine; everything is His. He has the right to take it whenever he wants".
The power of detachment is a great wealth. The power of devotion is an asset. Why don't we work for such wealth? This is because the mind has not been purified.
With impure mind one craves for impure things. With pure mind one is committed for pure things. Mantras help us to purify the mind. Yoga uplifts. Wealth and power without pure mind is like providing a knife to a mad man. He can even kill himself.
The object of yoga is to free you of psychological mess. The condition of your mind really determines the quality of your life.
To a good body, everyone says 'yes'. But to a good mind, people say 'no'. This ignorance is adversely affecting the quality of life.
Our mind has the capacity to imagine. This can be good or bad. Our imagination projects a reality. This projected reality appears to be the only reality. This projected reality is superimposed on the external reality.
The internal projected reality is superimposed on the external reality. Now the external reality is not seen and only the projected reality is seen. It is in this confusion that one lives and suffers.
An individual expects his partner to be...>>
An individual expects his partner to be like this or that. This is a projected reality. But the fact is that the object reality is different.
The husband is disappointed with his wife or vice versa, not for what she is but for what she should be. External reality does not fit into his subjective reality. Many suffer from this.
So all this happens in a world that is within us, our mind. Mantras chanted with devotion and understanding purify the mind.
If we leave un-checked this imaginary processes, they become mechanical. A negative system is created. These negative systems in turn take over our lives. We lose control.
You will become more unconscious and suffer from this mechanical process. For example, if one goes on seeing unpleasant things in life, it becomes a habit.
Then a negative system is created. Then one will helplessly see the negative. The system will start justifying why one is doing what one is doing.
The system will try to protect itself. The system gets into a survival mode. Then you will not live in the cosmos but in chaos.
Yoga is a wonderful science to dismantle this negative system and create a great inner order. When the inner world of our mind is orderly then we will see the external order as being more orderly.

it's when you look at yourself in the mirror and you feel desperation. you just wanna be someone else, and you wanna kill that person staring right at you.
in short, you are your worst enemy if you don't love yourself. love yourself, you're the only one who can do this best
