Well good morning to you.. Blogging World!
Today I'm going to discuss the predictable nature of the beast. Who is the beast you may ask? Frienemies.
In life, you meet people, they come and go. That's life. They exist in your world for a purpose. As nature takes its course sometimes that purpose ends and with it goes the friendship. Everything happens for a reason.
However, there are times people come into your world that act like a friends, but the truth of the matter is they're your worst enemy. While smiling in your face, being so nice, pretending to be true, the reality is their brains are scheming and plotting your demise. They don't have your best interests at heart, you were never their friend, you were always their enemy without you even knowing it. I call these people "Frienemies".
Someone once said "Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer". I disagree. Keeping your enemies close means having to watch your back even more, having to take precautions not to become intoxicated with the poison of your enemy. It can make you digress from your goal as you spend too much time and energy watching them! If you roll around in shit all day everyday, you end up smelling like shit! Shit seeps into your pores and before you know it you can't get rid of the smell, so now you wreak of the shit and make yourself sick in the process.
No.. better to identify your enemies, keep close friends tight, keep frienemies in the distance in the night!
Once you've identified your frienemies and cut contact they may turn nasty. Why? Because they no longer have direct access to you, to watch what you're doing, to try to manipulate and control you. They watch from the sidelines, as you do what's necessary to succeed they get frustrated and lash out in irrational ways.
The important thing here is to understand the nature of your frienemies. In the time you were with them they revealed certain characteristics of their true nature. Not the side of them they wanted you to see, but their true side (hidden behind the niceness). Maybe that was negativity, putting you down under the facade of giving you friendly advice, paranoia, spitefulness, bitchiness and rage directed at others. If you've witnessed these traits, never be fooled into thinking it won't happen to you, that they won't turn on you. It's just a matter of time. TICK TOCK..
Once you've reflected and understood the nature and actions of your frienemies, it becomes alot clearer that as you rise, to gain an edge in life, they'll always attempt to obstruct your path. By being nasty towards you, bad mouthing you publicly, trying to turn others against you, bullying and intimidating others into their way of thinking, playing the victim (this is common), etc.
My advice is to turn the other cheek and continue on the path to achieving your objective. If out of sheer frustration you do retaliate, do it only once, make sure you keep a mental note of the frienemies actions, because those actions will also help you predict their every move towards you in the future.
Don't worry about what frienemies say to other people. Those with their own minds (who think for themselves) will see the negative characteristics of the beast in due course. The true nature of the beast will always reveal itself.
When you understand the nature of the beast, you're able to predict their future moves towards you. It shouldn't bother or phase you in any way whatsoever, because you expected it to happen and prepared yourself for their venom. In other words, take the antidote before the poison comes your way, that way your immune system is already prepared. Forewarned is forearmed!
Frienemies come and go, watch your every move and do everything they can to keep you down. How you deal with it is what defines your character. Their own actions, deeds and poisonous spiel will bring about their downfall. What's their loss is your gain. Sit back and let them self-destruct while you remain calm and positive; keeping your eye directly on your goals.
Frienemies spend more time than you know studying your every move, even neglecting the things that they should be paying attention to in the quest to destroy you. You're able to see the full extent of their obsession. You're likely to discover that your mere existence brings out their insecurities. They've given you power over their actions! Others will eventually see their true nature, obsession and irrationality without you saying a word or them knowing the details of why you parted company.
So to my frienemies I say this:
So mind when you trip..
When you feel that you're tripping
It's me that is making you trip
Keep your mind on your shit
When I tell you to jump
You jump until I say to sit.. LOL

Wishing you all nothing but happy thoughts x
