'Slay Your Demons Before You Slay Dragons'
'Slay Your Demons Before You Slay Dragons', my apologies I have to write this one-liner in quotes because while I can't figure out who said this, surely from the longest time, this has been one of those quotable quotes. And who says he has NO inner demons? Everyone has, in fact. The huge gap does exist because while many of us accept this harsh truth, a similar plurality NEVER acknowledges and accepts that they have such inner demons that do exist in the first place. And that is NOT just pitiful but worst, it is pathetic because NO one can slay dragons UNLESS he slays his inner demons firstπ§π§π§To our dear readers of Chinese descent, please DON'T get me wrong. I DON'T intend to taint or besmirched the dragon because in the Chinese culture, the dragon does represent good luck, strength, health and the male element of Yang. But in real life, let's face, when we utter dragons to slay, we're referring to challenges in our life that is so formidable to overcome, hence we hear 'SLAYING THE DRAGON'πππBut let's start with our 'INNER DEMONS' which from the Harry Potter Series were referred to as 'DEMENTORS'. They suck the happiness out of you, leaving you with sadness and worst, anxiety. Instead of letting this dragon control your life, you've got to tame it and keep them in control. Or else life becomes tough with negativity. And trust me, you DON'T need negativity in your lifeπΉπΉπΉ
So, how do we move forward? First off, have that gumption to ACKNOWLEDGE IT. Refusing or rejecting that it does exist is the FAUX PAS you cannot UNDO. In fact, let them be. Listen to them and note what they're trying to tell you. Then, CONFRONT them because they act as a signal to tell you that your own thoughts and actions are trying to stop you from achieving the achievable. Being SELF-AWARE is the first step to tackling themπππ
And when your demons are trying to pull you down, you've got to concentrate on your happy memories, everything positive in the past. That will likely help you to get back into your 'HAPPY ZONE'. And that will help you realize that you're capable of doing great things in life. What happens next? Guess what? Your inner demons will eventually get tired of tearing you down, tearing you apart. So, let's start slaying our inner demonsπππ
