When we think our enemy is gaining on
us, we want to run and run. When
we believe someone wants what we have,
we squeeze the life right out of it.
When we believe "they" are out to get
us, we find their trap at every turn.
Yet if we would jus stop running,
squeezing and suspecting, we would
understand who "they" really are.
They are the thoughts that beat us down,
causing us to behave in unproductive
ways. They are the doubts and
suspicions we carry within us, and take
the life out of the very thing we want.
They are the fears that we fall into,
showing us the very things we don't want
to see. They are us when we don't
have faith because faithlessness is the
greatest enemy. No one can get
what is meant for you. The
universe will not have it the way it
should not be. We have been put on
this earth to be a certain way, have a
certain thing, accomplish a certain
task. Until we have been, done and
had what we came here to be do and have,
we are the only ones who can get in the
way.
