A competitor is easy to recognise through actions and results, an envious person through behaviour and reactions, and a hidden enemy through rumours and gossip
But recognising the enemy inside your own mind can take more than forty years. Consciousness can build a life that flows smoothly or one filled with problems
The mind may offer situations and attach itself to people to avoid genuine awareness. It hides the enemy inside illusion and self-deception, then drags it behind like a shadow
The way out begins when the person stops asking only what is happening and starts asking what the mind is protecting them from seeing
