Wait!
Before you start
thinking anything insane, understand my definition of an enemy.
Enemy is an eminent critic
who makes us aware of our scopes of improvement, without being paid. Yet, he is
so steadfast to his duty that as soon as you overcome his one challenge, he
would be vivaciously waiting to give you a tougher one. He pushes our comfort
zones and makes us take each move considerately.
You must have
experienced that these days, it is really difficult to get an honest opinion,
be it in a personal life or in a professional life. People are too seemly. That
is why it's today's dire need to have someone who can look into your eyes and
point at your face to tell you your shortcomings, without being bothered about
the ramifications. Someone to fuel your energy to set grander goals and
industriously surpass them.
There is a saying,
" Why would I need an enemy if I have a friend like you?" Message of
this statement has got deteriorated over a period of time and is normally used
in a negative sense. I say, if you have a friend, who tells you what is right
for you and is continuously behind you to make sure you do it, who challenges
your every action to help you improve and progress, that is actually what a
friend should be doing. Isn't it? Ironically, that is what an enemy as well
does. Doesn't he?
You are your best friend
and you are your best (not worst) enemy.
Friend or enemy, call it
anything, the role remains same - pushing yourself harder towards setting
higher standards and achieving them. Be a resolute critic of your thoughts,
character and actions, relentlessly filtering and refining the opinions coming from
outside and choosing what is right for you. And then grasp what will help you
improve continuously. And then do it! That's what successful people do. This
shall bring the sense of achievement and placidity in your life. This is what
life is all about - learning beyond ego, improving continuously.
And you know what?
You must do what you
know you should do.
Be well !
