Recognizing that you are your own biggest obstacle or source of inner turmoil is a heavy realization. It usually means the battles you are fighting—whether they are self-doubt, past mistakes, or destructive habits—are coming from within rather than from the outside world.

Realizing you are "your own demon" can be incredibly exhausting, but it also gives you a massive advantage: control. Since the problem lives within you, the power to change, forgive, and move forward is entirely in your hands.

Kōno Michisei - Self-Portrait (1917)

Kohno Michisei, seen here at twenty-two, presents himself in a pose modeled on Western Renaissance master Albrecht Durer's (1471-1528) self-portrait produced in 1500. Between 1914 and 1924 a remarkable quantity of high-quality portraiture was produced by Japanese artists who blended Western and East Asian painting traditions. While some of these painters had first-hand knowledge of Western painting, most, like Michisei, culled their images from books and magazines. The young artist was raised in an environment filled with powerful iconic images. His father was a portrait photographer, an artist in both Japanese and Western modes, and an active member of the Russian Orthodox Church. These influences are readily apparent in this self-portrait. Michisei's perceptive understanding of classic Western images was based on constant perusal of his father's extensive library; a portrait's potential for psychological and spiritual impact was impressed on him through exposure to religious icons used in the Orthodox liturgy.
