The Real Battle


Your true enemies are not flesh and blood. They are not the people you don’t like. 

Your enemies are not those people who mistreat you or the people who slander you. 

You’re not fighting with people. The true battle is not with your fellow man. 

The true battle is the one going on in your mind, right in your soul. 

This is a battle going on between your inner self and outward display; 

between your spirit and body. The battle is between your true intentions and actual behavior.
