facing the enemies within
we are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what youve read in the papers
some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two oclock in the morning. but once you learn to avoid that situation, you wont need to live in fear of it
fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. fear can destroy fortunes
fear can destroy relationships. fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives
fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.
let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. the first enemy that youve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference
what a tragic disease this is. ho-hum, let it slide
ill just drift along. heres one problem with drifting: you cant drift your way to the top of the mountain
the second enemy we face is indecision. indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise
it will steal your chances for a better future. take a sword to this enemy
the third enemy inside is doubt. sure, theres room for healthy skepticism
you cant believe everything. but you also cant let doubt take over
many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. worse of all, they doubt themselves (이하 생략)
