About this Quote

This quote by Jeremy Taylor speaks to the idea that we are both our own worst opponents and our own biggest allies. It suggests that we have the power to either hinder or assist ourselves in our lives. We can be our own worst critics, continuously putting ourselves down and holding ourselves back from achieving our goals. On the other hand, we can likewise be our own most significant supporters, believing in ourselves and pressing ourselves to reach our full capacity. This quote encourages us to recognize our own power and use it to our benefit. It reminds us that we have the ability to be our own buddy and to take control of our lives. Eventually, it is up to us to decide how we use our power and to choose whether we will be our own biggest opponent or our own biggest good friend.
