Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your two ears. — © Laird Hamilton
Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your two ears.
The thing you have to be on guard against, more than anything, is self-sabotage. You have to make sure you're not your own worst enemy.
Your mind . . . can be your best friend or your worst enemy, but it's your choice to make.
Never make someone have to choose between your ways and the Lord's ways. And always make sure that you're making it easier to live God's commandments for those who are by your side and who are your friends.
I think sometimes your worst enemy is inside your head. All your insecurities, your ego, your fears, your expectations.
You live your life between your ears.
Judge your enemy based upon capabilities, not intent, you have to look at the enemy and really almost make a worst case call every time.
Always make sure you have your rent. At the end of the month, if you have to eat Ramen for a week because you won't have your rent money, just do it but make sure your rent is all there so you're not stressing about that. As long as you have your rent at least you have somewhere to live.
Your worst enemy is hiding within yourself, and that enemy is your nafs or false ego.
Feelings are only your history being occasioned by the present moment. If that's your enemy, then your history is your enemy. If sensations are your enemy, your body is your enemy. And if memory is your enemy, you'd better have a way of controlling your mind in such a way that you never are reminded of things that are painful from the past. If you avoid people, avoid having your buttons pushed, avoid going to places that might occasion anxiety; if you're hammering down drugs and alcohol; these are all methods of trying to mount that unhealthy agenda.
I like movies that deal with trapped men. Men that need to make choices that are not obvious or easy choices. Then how do you visualize this? You create this character conflicted between two sides, because drama is about the conflict of two things, between your duty and your will, between what you want and what you can't have. It is all conflict between two things, and this is why you put your character in a place where you can visualize the conflict.
Opportunity lies between your own two ears
The most disagreeable thing that your worst enemy says to your face does not approach what your best friends say behind your back.
The boundary between civilization and barbarism is difficult to draw: put one ring in your nose and you are a savage, put two rings in your ears and you are civilized.
I do not mean to mock or ridicule your life's work, for in one way at least it mimics my own: We have dedicated our lives to the pursuit of phantoms. The difference is the nature of those phantoms. Mine exist between other men's ears; yours live solely between your own.
If you refrain from judging your worst enemy, his children will come to your side. What more severe judgment could come upon an enemy than this?
Who’s gonna make you happy when you’re your own worst enemy?
