We all pretend we don’t have them but when we think about it in our lives, the reality is we all have adversaries.
We have plenty people in our circle who wish us the best, but there will always be a couple or a few people who don’t want the best for us, they may even work against us and it’s often done silently.
They will often want us to fail, to not succeed, to not be very fit and healthy, to not be getting faster, so well balanced or they may even wish we quit the gym altogether (I can assure you this has happened to many people with us).
Next time you are trying to think of a way you can put off your gym visits, imagine your adversary quietly laughing and pleased about it, because you will be moving further away from success, they will LOVE that.
Next time you are thinking of quitting healthy food and getting a load of junk in the house, imagine your adversary lapping that up, being thrilled you have given up on your health.
Next time you are thinking about “settling for mediocrity in life”, not doing your best anymore, not taking care of your life, can’t you just see your adversary thinking they have WON and they have finally “moved ahead of you in life”.
Adversaries are not always bad, they can be GOOD because they make us re-focus, make us work much harder and make us keep our standards very high indeed..
