How to defeat the Enemy – Guest Post

This is a guest post by John over at PotPolitics.com, now John is one of those guys who has a seriously popular website and does make money online, but recently he has been growing, emotionally. John over to you;

First I want to Thank James for letting me Guest post. I don’t often do this but will if I think and hope what I have to share can help someone benefit from my mistakes. I have been blogging over two years now.As I look back I can see how I really was my own worst enemy and missed out on many great opportunities. Sure we like to think we can rationalize the masks we wear and why.
I can’t really let people know how nice I am or how much I care about people, so I will make them work to hopefully find out one day. That day is never going to happen unless a person wakes up and realizes the real world doesn’t have the time or patience to figure out some elaborate mystery.
People are raised in all kinds of environments and perhaps these defense mechanisms served us well in the past or so we thought. Now the same methods we used to survive now come back to haunt us and if we are not careful may have a grim affect on our future. Just like a blogger can only go so far on their own efforts a person can only attain a certain level of success because they constantly sabotage their own self.
For example. Say you would like to exchange an idea with a well known blogger, get their feedback. Well you already have the mindset that they won’t bother to answer and when you shoot them a spicy Yeah Thanks GURU etc your only pushing yourself deeper into the abyss. Having the mindset that I’m going to reach out to this person because I admire their work and I hope they take the time to hit me back with their thoughts and if they don’t OH well is a big adjustment for some of us.

We must challenge and look for better ways to do things when it’s obvious our way isn’t working or continue to suffer the consequences.
Have you took an honest look at the way you interact with people ?

If you can’t see the problem there is no way you can see the solution.

This isn’t some happy happy advice column and I do disagree with many of the ways I see people treat each other online but I now challenge myself to react differently and hopefully one day become of an example to others of someone who was once their own worst enemy and now tries to be their own best friend.

Thanks everyone. Like they say if it don’t apply let it fly but hopefully someone can take a look at what they have going on in their own situation and make some changes if necessary. Peace

To master success you have to go past the point where others have failed to go. To your success.
