You can’t control the things that you say to yourself, but you 

can control what you listen to.

For far too long we’ve been sold the lie that you can learn to

“silence the inner critic.”  You can’t!  It’s how we are hard 

wired.  Our mind is our “frenemy.”  It’s helps us to solve the 

most amazing challenges in our outer world, but when we 

turn those problem solving skills internally, to try to solve our 

pain, fear and doubt, it backfires.  So stop wasting your time 

trying to control your thoughts and feelings.

When you hear words like this inside your

head “I  really  screwed  that  up!   What  an  idiot!  

That has cost me big time.  I don’t even know if I 

can pull it back from here,” then don’t spend time 

analysing it.

Don’t suck it up,  don’t  tough  it  out,  don’t  “man  up,” 

don’t get over it, don’t harden up.  Just get on with it!

You don’t need to own your story, you don’t need to talk 

to  yourself  as  a  friend,  you  don’t  need  to first see  your 

own  self  as  powerful  enough  to  act,  you  don’t  need  to 

grant  yourself  power.   You  simply  need  to  say that

famous four-letter word that all high performers scream 

after failure – NEXT!

If you spend time inside your head listening to the

negativity, fear and doubt then you end up dancing

with it and  doing  a  bunch  of  ridiculous  and  non 

productive things to get over it.

You’d do much better to not start dancing with it in the

first place.

 But that’s the challenge – the voices are in your head – 

so you should take them seriously, right?  Wrong.  Just 

because those voice are in there, you don’t have to 

believe them.  Doubt your doubts.  That’s the first step 

to being powerful.
