Fighting And Winning The Battles Within
You will be surprised that a lot of people that you come in contact with on a daily basis are fighting some very intense battles of life. However, what is even more is the fact that a major part of these battles are not external but on the inside and they are largely unseen by others. A friend once told me that "the unseen battles that people face are more than the seen ones." These battles within happen in the mind and also include both the emotions and the willpower. That means that battles will also have to be fought and won in the inside. Until you have won the battles in the inside, then you may not be able to face the battles on the outside.
There are contentions between the two sides of reality - between fear and courage, between negativity and positivity, between doubt and belief, between good and bad. In order to fight and overcome the battles within, you have to contend with negative thoughts, bad habits, self-limiting beliefs, etc. When this is contended with, you will begin to live a better and a more fulfilled and purposeful life. Just to let you know; you are not the only one that is facing the challenges you think you are, a lot of others are even facing a more cruel one. Even the people who you see as successful also have their own battles - like fear, insecurity, and a lot of other things.
It is worthy to note that, even though every human may be facing or have faced battles within, what guarantees victory or lack of it, is not how talented you are nor your intelligence, but your ability to conquer your inner critic and keep going even when challenges present to you. Just to let you know; the mind is extremely powerful, so much that a lot of the issues of life have their residence from the mind. This is why what you allow in your mind is what manifests in many other aspects of life. If you permit negativity in your mind, it will become a limiting factor for you. But when you allow only positive thoughts, then you are on the path of overcoming the battles within. Your mind is your greatest asset, but you have a responsibility to determine what to do with it.
If you want to overcome and gain victory over the battles within, then there are things that you need to have in handy. Firstly, you need a level of self-awareness. If you do not know who you are, then you may not even know the battles that you are facing. Knowing yourself also means being aware of your strengths, weaknesses, fears, doubts, and what normally triggers you. When you have known these, then you will be able to fight the negative ones with positive ones. Like fight fear with courage, procrastination with discipline, negative thoughts with positive affirmation. You cannot win the battles within by ignoring or avoiding them, you have to take the responsibility to face them.
Another weapon that will help you to fight and win the battles on the inside is consistency. When you win once, you do not just relax because it is not meant to be once-and-for-all. You have to make it a habit to win daily. That is, when you wake up in the morning, you should choose faith over fear, choose positivity over negativity, choose actions over excuses, and then do what you have not attempted before. When you push beyond your yesterday's limit, the little wins will turn to massive victory with time. Always have in mind that the tools to wage the war within has been given to you - your mind, but you need to decide how to make use of it.
If you cannot picture what you want with the eyes of the mind and conceive it in your mind, then you may not see the delivery. The victory that you seek for will definitely start from within. Until you have conquered the mind, you may not be able to conquer life. When you take charge of your mind and master it, it will be easy to win the battles on the outside.
