Critic or Champion?

Wednesday, December 6

There are two voices in your head that compete for your attention, actions, and mindset. These voices are the Critic and the Champion.

The Critic tries to convince you every day that you should play it safe and take the easy way out. It tells you that you don't have what it takes, that you are going to fail, reminds you of past failures, and tries to talk you out of doing the things you know you should do to get better, make progress, and unlock your potential.

On the other hand, the Champion encourages you. It tells you that you can get up and keep going even if you fail. It reminds you of your past wins and stirs up confidence. It challenges you to keep going, to stay on the path. The Champion empowers you to run after your goals and your growth.

All the things the Critic tries to talk you out of doing? The Champion reminds you that those things will make you better. Those are the things champions do.

Today, you have a choice in what voice you listen to. Will you ignore the Champion and listen to the Critic? Or will you quiet the Critic and embrace the Champion?

Remember, the voice we listen to determines the choices we make.
