Unite and Win

There is an enemy in the world. Every story we have ever been told that has touched our heart reveals that there is a good side and a bad side to things. Dark and light. Evil and benevolence.

The success or pain that we feel in life is, in large part, a result of our willingness to fight evil and join good.

Now, this is a topic that is very deep and requires much thought. My point today is not to engage in a philosophical debate about the existence of good and evil, but rather to offer one key strategy to destroy the enemy.

Intentionally surround yourself with a community of good people.

The enemy has a many plans, and one key strategy is to “Divide and Conquer.” It is likely that you know someone who has fallen victim to the “Divide and Conquer” strategy. This is why Thoreau said “most men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

By intentionally seeking out and being with good people, you will foil that plan.

You may have to go against what you have deemed comfortable, but I implore every one of us to stay in a community of people. Have the courage to surround yourself with people who will love you, support you, not judge you, and who are willing to tell you the truth.

If you take this step, the enemy loses. Together we win.
