Your enemy is the best thing that ever happened to you. I know that sounds insane, but let me explain.
Enemies—whether they are toxic people, institutions, or even circumstances—serve a single purpose: to make you stronger. They sharpen you, burn away the illusions, and reveal the core of who you really are.
And let’s be clear—this isn’t some naive, “turn the other cheek” nonsense. I don’t play like that. Your enemy is not here for you to forgive and forget. They are here as a test. A fire. A lesson. And if you pass, you don’t just survive—you rise.
The Gift of an Enemy
If you refuse to become a victim, your enemy will be the greatest force of transformation in your life. They will push you into strength, into clarity, into power. Here’s why:
1. They Make You Stronger Than You Ever Thought Possible
When someone is actively working against you—lying, scheming, stealing, manipulating—you are left with two choices: crumble or rise.
Your enemy wants you weak, reactive, and broken. Instead, use their attack as fuel. Every time they try to pull you down, see it as an opportunity to become sharper, smarter, and more unshakable. Let their betrayal be the catalyst that forces you into your highest self.
2. They Make Your Joy More Sacred
Your enemy will always come for you at your highest moments. Right before a big breakthrough. Right before peace. They will strike when you are happy—because they want to take that from you.
So what do you do? You double down. You soak in your joy with absolute intensity because you know it is sacred. You become what I call Uber-Zen—so present, so aware, that no amount of outside chaos can shake you.
I remember floating in the pool, feeling freer than I had in years. The sun, the water, the movement—pure bliss. And I knew, I knew, that the second I got out, my enemies would strike. And sure enough—texts. Calls. Threats.
But it didn’t matter. I had already won. I had soaked in the joy, made it mine. They couldn’t take that moment from me, no matter what.
3. They Show You What Truly Matters
Enemies force clarity. They force decisions.
When someone is actively trying to take something from you—your peace, your dignity, your stability—you have to ask yourself: What is truly worth fighting for? What am I willing to let go of? What do I actually need to thrive?
I’ve faced enemies who wanted me dead. Who wanted me homeless. Who thought they could strip me of my power, my voice, my freedom. And what did I learn?
That I do not belong to them. That no one controls my destiny but me. That I will fight for what matters and walk away from what doesn’t.
And that’s what you need to ask yourself. Are you wasting time fighting a battle that drains you? Or are you using the war to become unstoppable?
How to Use Your Enemy’s Energy Against Them
Your enemy will be blinded by their own greed, their own hate, their own obsession with control. Use that against them.
1. Detach Emotionally – Their power comes from your reaction. Stop feeding them. They want you angry? Get quiet. They want you broken? Get stronger. Make them irrelevant to your state of mind.
2. Find Their Weakness – Every enemy has a blind spot. Is it their arrogance? Their need to win? Their greed? Learn it. Exploit it. Let them walk themselves into their own demise.
3. Transmute Pain Into Power – Instead of sitting in the chaos, build something from it. Write the book. Start the business. Win the court case. Take what they tried to destroy and turn it into something unbreakable.
The Final Truth
Your enemy will drown in their own obsession. Their greed will blind them. Their need for control will be their undoing.
Let them play their game. And while they’re busy trying to break you, you rise. You become so untouchable, so resilient, so damn powerful, that by the time they realize they’ve lost—you’re already gone, thriving, free.
Because at the end of the day, the real enemy isn’t them. It’s fear. It’s doubt. It’s giving up. And as long as you refuse to surrender, you win.
Now go. Fight. Live. Win.
