If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self
By Napolean Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich
You might be your biggest enemy
That’s right
God really made us all self-sufficient, didn’t he? xD
Consider this: Your conscious self is a cranky 10-month-old baby that just wants attention
What happens when you don’t give it that attention?
It cries, makes unwanted noise, disturbs its surroundings, and creates a ruckus.
The only thing that can help is trying to figure out what the baby wants.
Treating your self as a baby who can’t speak up for itself is precisely what you need to be doing, no matter how weird this analogy sounds.
Sit with yourself, figure out what you want, need and desire.
What will help your mind stop making the unwanted noise and ruckus, that may be inhibiting you from pursuing your goals?
Understanding your self is the only way you can make it stop asking for attention through unwanted means like self-doubt and deprecation.
Befriend your self and don’t let it overcome you.
