What could you do less of?

There is an inner voice, it speaks of failure. It is constantly overthinking every scenario in life, leaving it void of happiness. It diminishes the character, shadows the brightest days and holds you hostage. It is that nagging reminder that you are not enough. It speaks of failure and keeps you down. It holds you captive unable to push through the storm. It can turn a situation into a never ending cycle of torment. It can be an echo from seasons past of criticism by others. Only one thing is certain, don’t listen to it. There is no point in ruminating in rhetoric that keeps you paralyzed from accomplishing what needs to be done. Believe in yourself even when you feel you cannot. Silence the negativity within and live your life unapologetically. Thrive in the harshest conditions to bloom into what you thought wouldn’t be possible. The critic within is NOT trustworthy.
