To know oneself...

is to know one's limits, and more importantly to know one's capability. People often refer to that 'fear' of oneself in terms of what one can achieve, but thats not what I fear...I fear failure.

I fear that my negative attributes could inhibit my progress towards realising my dreams, that if I attempt to give myself to the pursuit of a dream I could fall short not because I am incapable of succeeding but because I am my own worst enemy.

Fear, doubt, ignorance, anger, negativity are all enemies within the mind. They are products of ourselves, perhaps sometimes triggered by external events but often exacerbated by each other. Its a downward spiral to dwell on any of them and all it takes is a bit of focus to avoid it.

To seek truth is to liberate the mind from the proverbial shackles of fear, and that principle alone is enough to overcome anything...I believe...I hope...
