You know that voice inside our head? The one that often berates us when we make a mistake? Or, the one that haunts and nags us when we face a regret? I used to believe I needed that voice to treat me that way. I thought the more critical it was, the more it kept me on my toes and pushed me to succeed. I thought it was my secret to success. No, really. I believed this powerful weapon was my reason for success. I deeply believed that without it, I was lazy and would never amount to anything. Why? Because this voice said so.
