THE WAR WITH SELF
There is unknowingly a very fatal battle going on within. The war between the 'I' and the 'Me' in us. Many of you are surprise and a bit confuse when I use the word 'I' and 'Me'; you may think both the words represent the same thing although their usage varies. They might be the same, but permit me to use them differently, because from within they are certainly not the same.
Plenty of us see impossibilities, hard to reach, and it won't work in our daily experience. Plenty of us also see possibilities, I can, it's easy, it won't be long, in our daily experience. Those of us who see the impossibilities, hard to reach and it won't work are classified to be closely related to the 'Me' dominated types. For which, we do have the 'I' in us asleep; our suppression and lack of confidence have driven it to this state. Those of us who see only the possibility, capability, easy to work, it may take time, I can, it may take a while but it can be done. They are termed as the 'I' dominated types.
The 'Me' and the 'I' battle have been on this fight for long, till date. Both fighting for a stay within us.
Let me give you a brief analysis of how this battle has been happening.
When we set goals, and we visualize our dreams; it is mostly done by the 'I' in you. The 'I' very powerful and optimistic keep us going. If you are to ask a child now what he/she would want to do/become in the feature, the reply will start with an 'I'. I want to... Or, I would love to... But as time passes by, with a bit of interaction and a show of reality about life, the 'I' begins to feel powerless. Immediately that happens, the 'me' starts to feel powerful. Rising with might, showing us various pictures of reality. Most of the real pictures we are shown by the 'Me' in us dispatches that of those who haven't succeeded and unhappy ending. By so doing the 'Me' in us grows strong, which leads us to lose hope and start thinking, the Can't type of thoughts. We start using the word "I can't."
We may want to think it's the 'I' in us that *Can't* get things done, but no, it's the 'Me' that can't. The only thing the 'I' say is *Can*, not *Can't.* Surprise, right? It's true. The 'I' in us always Can, but the 'Me' *Can't.*
In a way to revive the 'I' in us, let me share with you some tips I have gathered around:
1. The impossibility in the impossible always stays impossible if you don't see the possible in that impossible. Everything is possible through Him (God) who gives us the power to accomplish great things. See the possibilities in everything.
2. Don't back down from a fight, just because you see others beating from that fight. You are stronger than those beaten. Much more skilful than them. You know why? It's because you are a conqueror. Add the 'I' to the *Can.* Say I can defeat/win whatever battle that comes my way.
3. Turn the clock the anticlockwise direction to every obstacle you are faced with. Start counting backwards. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6,...1 Count the unsuccessful from the journey you are planning to journey and then count yourself as the number one(1). From that backward count, make yourself the successful.
Tell the 'I' in you to Power Up and Keep Doing whatever you are doing. Tell the 'Me' to Power Off and Calm Down. You know why? It's simply because You can. You are a conquerer I Can! Should sound like thunder always.
The war needs to end. Tell the 'Me' in you that if Me Can't, then the 'I' can if the 'I' try.
