"The most important conversations, briefings, meeting, and lectures you will ever have will be those you hold with yourself in the privacy of your own mind."
Denis Waitley
There is a very powerful person who can grant anything you want. He can make things happen for you. Whatever you want he can give you. If you are in confusion, he will give you clarity. If you lack confidence, he can give you self confidence, he will give it to you in plenty!
Do you know who this person is? It's your inner voice! I don't know if you have noticed. You are always talking to yourself. The quality and content of this inner voice will decide your mental state. If your inner voice says that you are going to commit a mistake, you will. If your inner voice tells that you are going to fumble in your next presentation, you will. Whenever you are confused to do a thing or not, your inner voice is actively involved in debating and until and unless this voice gives a final verdict, you will not and cannot act.
Intelligent people make use of this happening to their advantage. They script, rehearse, modulate, edit and replay this inner voice to achieve what they want in their life. They become the `script writers' of their inner voice. They write the speech for their inner voice and make a difference in their own confidence level.
You have to listen to your inner voice. For this you have to believe that you have one.
Next time when you have nothing else to do, just listen to your inner voice and notice what it says!
