When anything new, different and possibly spectacular appears
in my life, so does that chronic negative voice inside my head. That internal voice has a limited but horribly destructive vocabulary. It begins as a malicious and constant whisper. "
Really, who do you think you are, you are not
good enough, they are going to laugh, everyone will know you are a fraud", and
the list goes on but it is always responsible
for me backing down, shying away from or just plain never even beginning . A voice, that only I can hear begins as a whisper but the more I ignore it
the louder it gets. How much life,
work, love have I denied myself because I succumbed to that heinous voice? Every time I have moved forward with new
work, new life experiences, new
anything, it shows up. Yet, each time I have
moved through it or ignored it, I have not regretted it …..but still it has the power to stop me dead in my tracks. Perhaps I should begin seeing that voice as a
sign. A sign that tells me whatever new
thing I am bringing into my life or putting out into the world is a good thing. That voice is just a sign, a sign that this
is the right path.
