Your Mind is a Battlefield Part 1: Do You Know Who Your Real Enemy Is?

One minute you are happy and joyful. Then you have a fleeting thought about something that could happen, should be happening, or might happen. The next thing you know, you are in a dark place, and you have no clue how you got there.

Pondering upon that one fleeting thought leads to a whirlwind of emotions, including fear, anxiety, sadness, doubt, guilt, and sometimes anger.

The truth is, your mind is a battlefield. You have a real enemy warring for your soul. He starts the battle in your mind by planting seeds in your thoughts.

The first step in learning how to fight this battle and ultimately winning the war is identifying who your real enemy is, and recognizing his plots, schemes, and tactics.
