Behind Enemy Lines

09/19/2019


How many times has someone told you that you can’t do something? That your idea was stupid, wouldn’t work, or was a waste of time? Or that if you took a specific action, you would fail or regret it?

Time and time again, the enemy will, consciously or unconsciously, attempt to discover your Achilles heel and project their negativity, insecurity, and pessimistic attitude onto you. The goal for you is not to embrace or surrender to it but to leave it where it originated – behind enemy lines.

We don’t always see the enemy, nor can we always identify it. It could surface within a casual conversation, a gesture, a suggestion, a command, a response, a question, or a retort. It can also be barricaded deep within a friend, a loved one, an associate, a colleague, a family member, an educator, etc. But regardless of wherever stone it lies under or bush it is masked behind, you have the choice whether or not to retreat and get captured or stand your ground and fight for what you believe in.

Within each of us lies a purpose, a gift, and a talent, and it is up to us to allow it to blossom and bloom into fruition and not consent to it faltering and withering away. Challenge yourself to be fruitful and multiply. Start by:·

  • Identifying your challenges and your strengths;
  • Unmask the courage you’ve set forth when the days have been filled with uncertainty and anguish;
  • Remember how you broke through timeless barriers enabling you to embrace the teachings so you can confidently tackle the next task before you;

What is the purpose of these few easy-to-follow steps? It is to identify and embrace what you’ve learned through each passing phase of life, continue on your journey, tackle the battlefield of life, and seek new understanding toward every breakthrough.
