I am sure that we all have caught ourselves in a conversation with an individual that would make us appear to be insane. That individual we are talking to, that’s ourselves. Weather you are debating on an important issue or trying to decide what you are going to eat for lunch, there is always at lest two voices in those conversations. And usually those voices are both coming from you! Be honest with yourself, you do it all the time and even multiple times through out the day. I do, and there is nothing wrong with having these interdependent conversations. Unless, you are listing to the wrong voice.This voice that we hear in our minds, the one that we are continually talking to and taking advise from, is most of the time a critical and negative voice. Its usually the voice that when you say, I should eat healthy today, it replays NO! a big juice hamburger and some greasy fries would taste better oh and wash it all down with a nice vanilla shake. Or what about when you say, man I really need to get to the gym today, that voice will find all sorts of reasons why you really shouldn’t go to the gym today or tomorrow. Maybe it is something more important like when you say, I should spend more time with my family, or I need to spend more time in prayer and mediation. There is always going to be that voice in your mind that tells you, you can’t or that will make up every excuse why you shouldn’t, or that will make you feel as though you are more busy then you really are. Creating stress and frustration that keeps you from doing what you should do, it will keep you from doing what you want to do, and it will keep you from doing what you were meant to do. Unless you can over power that critical voice with you True Voice.
To start you need to eliminate some words from these interdependent conversations that you have. Words like, can’t, don’t, wont, shouldn’t, not, and wouldn’t. In ‘The Secret’ we learn that your brain doesn’t distinguish words like these as either negative or positive. For example, I experience this most often when I am on the treadmill at the gym. I catch myself in one of these interdependent conversations saying, I wont make it through my full 55 minute run today. I also find my self saying things like, girls don’t find me attractive. So according to’The Secret’ my brain does not hear me say, I wont make it through my full 55 minute run today. Instead it hears I want more days of shorter runs and based on the law of attraction that is what we get. So when we allow for our critical voice to dominate our interdependent conversations then our true desires will never be realized.
When I find myself in one of these conversations with myself I immediately stop talking to myself and I restate the things that I said. Turning them into statements of attraction. For example, if I had just said to myself, girls don’t find me attractive, then I would restate that statement and say, I am an attractive person, all girls are attractive to me, see the girl next to me is checking me out. After I say things like this, the girl that I am referring to always looks at me! I have just found my true voice. I have just provided for that voice to become dominate and in control. Now its not enough just to say those things, you have to believe them, and I mean believe them. Its only in the belief of what you say that you will find the power of your ‘True Voice’.
Now I used these silly statements because they are things that I experienced yesterday while at the gym so they were fresh on my mind. There are many important issues that you will discus with yourself, that will require you to use your ‘True Voice’ if you are going to make the right decisions. It will require of you that you take more of what you believe and apply it to this principle.
Overcoming that critical voice that wants to tell you that your not as good as you are, that wants to destroy your dreams and what you can become. The voice that tells you that your never going to be anything more then you are and that voice that you tend to hide behind telling yourself that its right. Overcoming this critical voice and learning to listen only to your ‘True Voice’ will open doors for you, it will provide more opportunities then you ever thought possible. The key to this, is realizing that the critical voice you hear, that is you telling yourself what you think other people think of you. Now because that voice is you, you have total control over it. You decide which voice you will listen to and which voice will dominate your beliefs!
It’s one thing to let the words that others say get us down and slow our progression, but when we let our lives be destroyed by our own critical voice then we have truly given into peer criticism.
Always speak from your True Voice and you will have the power that is required of you to become what you were meant to be! The power equal to that of a hundred men fighting for the same cause and belief.
Success is Yours!
