One Leadership Tip: Day 122: You Are Your Greatest Adversary

In most movies or TV series there is always that one antagonist that creates conflicts against the protagonist. And this villain will do everything in his power to defeat and destroy the hero in the narrative film.

Whether in a movie or in real-life situations, a person can have enemies, or rivalries and their very existence is to oppose and serve as a hindrance to the progress of a person. But what many of us do not know is that the only one standing in the way of the life we wanted is none other but OURSELVES. Yes! You heard it right!

They said that not enough knowledge is the main problem that holds people back from achieving their goals, but surprisingly most people know exactly the steps they need to do and yet choose not to do it.WHY?

We are fighting the greatest battle-the war within ourselves. The protagonist part of us will tell us to do it and the antagonist side of us will create excuses and provide justifications why we should not do it.

Which side are you on?

Which one should you listen to?

Join Coach Nate as he talks about dealing with our greatest enemy in fulfilling our life’s purpose. 

Quotations:

“You know exactly what would need to be required to go and do it. However, you give yourself so many reasonable excuses and reasons why.”

“Recognizing that you are your biggest adversary is one of the first steps to help you to conquer it, and to act in spite of yourself, and to go and make some big things happen.”

 “When we start to think about all these incredible things that we want, and we start to think about all the things that would be required to go out and do that are necessary to create, that our brains are going to try and protect us by telling us all these incredibly big, convoluted bullshit stories to keep you from doing it, and no one’s immune to it.”
