The Art of War

While researching for this project I stumbled into The Art of War by Sun Tsu. What an interesting little book. Over the years, there have been a lot of books and internet articles applying his ideas to modern life. What I loved  was the simplicity of his actual writings. Here’s a great quote that I thought might be useful for this project:

Know the enemy, know yourself,
And victory is never in doubt,
Not in a hundred battles.

He who knows self but not the enemy
Will suffer one defeat for every victory.

He who knows neither self nor enemy
Will fail in every battle.

So what is the enemy in your battle for Self Care? What or who opposes you? Very important to really understand what we are up against, I think. Equally important to know our own strengths and weaknesses, our limitations, our resources, and to understand the ground upon which we stand.
