Did you ever notice that there is always a person in your life who wants to bring you down? There is this one person who always seems to the first to stay something negative about what you are planning to do. They love to tell you it won’t happen and they love to tell you are too silly, not smart enough or do not have the strength to do something.
This is the same person who always second guesses your choices. Wondering if you are right or if you just made a major mistake. This is the same person who will tell you “I told you so” when things do not go right. Even if everything works out, they will be the first to say, “Maybe this time but there is still time for it to fall apart.”
This person also loves to point our your past mistakes. Reminding you that what happened in the past and how this will only happen again. They love to play with your insecurities and remind you about them at the least favorable moment in your life.
The same person also loves to make you doubt yourself. Make you think twice about what other’s say, do, and mean. This person makes you wonder what are people’s intentions, why are they out to get me and what will they do next to cause me pain.
This person is you.
You are your worse enemy. How are you going to stop yourself from bringing you down?

That is very insightful. I don’t want to be so hard on myself but no matter how hard I try, it tends to work out that I am. I am my worst critic and I need to work on giving myself the benefit of the doubt like I do to other people and being hopeful in my own growth at the same time. I hope you have a great day!

Great post Michael. Most of us speak more harshly and cruelly to ourselves than we would ever speak to a friend or loved one.
