The Skeptic.
The inner voice that is heard at different levels of intensity.
For some, it is a strong inner critic.
For others, it is less so.
The voice that causes you to doubt.
To question.
To challenge.
It is a learned behavior.
I wonder, when does it get in your way?
Skepticism.
A 10-letter word within the English language that we use to describe a behavior.
More often than not, this behavior is a protective mechanism.
For some, it can keep them stuck for years.
I invite you, tame the skeptic.
Become aware of it.
Know when it exists and how it shows up.
Know how it serves you.
Does it give you confidence?
Does it empower you?
Does it support you in who you are becoming?
The skeptic can hold you back from being courageous.
The skeptic can talk you out of the innovative and creative business strategy.
The skeptic can be the blocker that causes you to suppress your truest sense of self.
Be aware of it.
Know when it creeps up and tells you, "Not today."
Outgrow the skeptic.
Use what it has taught you in finding your path.
And then, if it is time, let it go.
