Taking Control Over the Enemy

What do you do when you feel you are not in control?

Sometimes you have to stand up and fight back. But before you do that you have to know who you are fighting against. Be very careful when choosing your enemy.
I will explain later.

Taking control starts by educating yourself. Raise your self-awareness. Change your current behavior patterns. How?

Begin by talking to someone who can objectively give you advice, someone who can see your blind spots and give you positive encouragement.

Also search for books, audio, video, or Websites that will stimulate your thinking.

The secret is in seeing the big picture. You are so close to your problems you don’t see the answers. Maybe it is time to back up. Re-position your thinking. Get a bigger picture of what is really happening.

The answers to your questions are right in front of you, give yourself permission to let go and back up. See the truth behind your frustrations. Learn how to position yourself so you can avoid the traps of getting side track, distracted, or discouraged.

Once again I encourage you to take time out and set in complete silence. Let go of all the noise within your head and connect with your higher self. This time of meditation is critical if you want to be successful.

Write out a list of your questions. Enter those thoughts into your meditation. Don’t try and force the answers, just submit them. Sometimes the answers will not come until later that day or the next day. Exercise faith and the answers will come.

So who is the enemy?

Take a deep look inside. It’s your ego.

Your ego is a part of your defense system. It was programmed to protect you. It is designed for your survival. But once you become aware of the real you, your higher self then it is no longer needed.

Instead your ego will hold you back. Its interest is in serving you and only you. It has no interest in your creativity or your service toward other people. It’s self centered. It will promote fear, doubt, and frustration, anything to keep you from pursuing your purpose.

When you feel as though others are working against you, take a step back and understand it is your own ego projecting that illusion upon you. The truth is no one has control of you and your thoughts except you. Whoa!...read that again.

Take responsibility of your own thoughts and actions. When you take control and see yourself as you’re really are that is when you become a winner and your ego will loose its control on you.
