I'm a firm believer that "actions speak louder than words." But sometimes words don't need to be loud in order to be heard. Sometimes a few subtle words resinate with us better. A kiss on the forehead might show you that you're loved, but a million kisses could never trump hearing the words for the first time. Actions are truth, but words are proof. Words are powerful.
Your worst enemy will critique your flaws, question your motives, and they will most always find something you could do better. They will be quick to doubt you and slow to accept you. They will minimize your success and heighten your failures. Your worst enemy will never believe your good is "good enough." They will key in on your weaknesses, never letting you get too comfortable.
They will undermine your true ability until you prove otherwise. Your worst enemy will push you to your limit, often testing your true character. And if you've any character worth having at all...your worst enemy will be you. Your worst enemy should always be you.
"Out Of The Vein" was a criminally underrated album.
Sometimes, I’m way too consumed with my future. I have all these dreams and goals that I feel I need to achieve to validate my life. But other times, there are these beautiful moments when I’m just having a hell of a time getting to wherever it is I’m going. I think everyone needs moments like that to keep them sane, but especially to show them that the future isn’t a year a way—it’s only a moment. The future is often right in front of us … we just forget to realize it.
