Fighting inner demons

My friend, we are like the valets who lamely polish the knight’s armor and clumsily sharpen his words. And when the knight – that is you – is fighting. What can we do but offer encouraging words? We cannot help you fight those demons in your head; you must fight alone. And when by God’s grace you win, it is because of the strength you have harvested in those lonely moments. And not because of your sharp sword, not because your armor shone.”

- A N Yusuf

 

No matter what everyone tells you, you are alone. You have to look out for yourself. You, yourself, have to fight the evils inside you. Only you can shape your life.
