Someone sent me this beautiful message this morning and I thought it would be selfish of me not to post it. Try to remember it today. I’ve also included the page that was sent to me. Check out the article & remember… to be kind to yourself:

“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.” -African Proverb

The funny thing is, though, the enemies inside are those that beget creating enemies outside for others. Our own external enemies are just that — enemies — because of their own internal struggles. So, if internal struggles result in all of these external struggles for everyone else, why don’t we invest the time and effort to deal with them and pan them out? Weirdly enough, it’s the very activities that attempt to get rid of these monsters that inspire the most ridicule from others, no? Theraphy, psychologists, self-help books, etc — all looked down upon by society.

BUT, all that said, I totally agree with the quote. Monsters, be gone! :]
