Sometimes your best friend is your worst enemy in disguise.
Your worst enemy must get close to you in order to hurt you.
And thankfully that closeness, if you are paying attention, will allow you to
see them.
Love them for showing you the truth.
They have brought you the gift that only an
enemy can carry. That of your clarity. Use it to get rid of them.

Sometimes your best supporter is your biggest detractor.
Because your most powerful detractor IS your best supporter.
There is nothing more valuable than the learning you do in the zone of the
dynamic negative.
Those that shout angry statements must be heard.
Not that what they say is true.
The gift will come in how you deal with the lie.
Can you stand in the face of criticism and discern the difference between what you hold as truth and what you know is false?
Testing. Testing. One Two Three.

Finally, I am reading a book called “Blink” (Malcolm Gladwell).
Basically, we know the truth about anything, anyone, any situation in the blink of an eye. And then we spend lots of time proving that knowledge to be false. Only to find ourselves wrong.
The truth is percieved immediately.
We know what we know. Trust in that.
That little voice that you hear right away, is correct. Always.
Do as it says even if you don’t know why.

None of this is pretty.
But all of it is beautiful.
