Have you ever felt that sometimes you are your own worst enemy? We all have moments when, no matter how hard we try, things just don’t seem to work out right, when everything goes wrong, and we have no one to blame but ourselves. But, just as you may sometimes be your own worst enemy, you can also be your own best friend.

The transition usually occurs when you realize that the only person on earth who can determine your failure or success is you yourself. You may discover your best friend when you develop the maturity and strength of character to accept yourself for the person you are and to take the actions necessary to become the person you wish to be.

When you analyze yourself objectively, you can begin to build upon your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses. When you do, you will realize that the only person who stands in the way of your success is you.

You are right, Liane.
Sometimes I have felt like I am my worst enemy. That I have to slowly change.
From the teachings of Zen: a closed mouth gathers no foot.
A closed mouth may gathers no foot, also no friends, no communication with others to express yourself and exchange ideas with others on several topics.
Now that I am learning better methods of communications, I am my best friend.
I enjoy getting up in the morning every day and meeting people.
I put my best foot forward and even get a good workout greeting people as the day goes along and inspiring people that things will get better for them.
