When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you

It all starts on the inside. The only person who can hold you down is you.

The enemy within is more dangerous than without.

There are a whole lot of them , the enemies from within - fear , self doubt, anger , jealousy .... and all the negative thinking.

It is in our natural design to doubt , fear and limit ourselves , to protect us from hurt or adversities.

But people are more fearful than necessary and the fears actually make it hard to surmount the very adversity itself.

When people give in to fear , they lose energy , momentum and confidence in what they do. This translates  into inaction that lowers the confidence level even further . Anxiety ; stress , frustration , anger and all that are negative go right up ! Fear simply creates its own self - fulfilling dynamics.
 
The external enemies  in the form of problem/ crisis  are not insurmountable if we change our mindset. If we view them as a challenge that affords us the opportunity to prove our mettle , a chance to toughen ourself ;if we change our mental process from negative ( fear & self doubt) to positive , action will be resulted.

No doubt its the mind that drives the body!  Its our inner shine that will take care of the "weather "outside
