The dweller within

Sitting in a dark space, I slowly let my thoughts gather, I imagine my thoughts to fill up this space as wide as an amphitheatre. All my sadness and joy, my embarrassment and pride, I filled the space with myself. At that moment was when I felt it, a voice within that judged my every action, my every decision, and he is my critic. "You should have done that, you could have avoided it, you would have done better if."

Critic is a dweller, he sneaks through your mind and soul and he sentence a judgement on them. He is the arm that pulls you back before your leap, he questions your heart and her motives. But do not judge your critic too harshly, he is afterall just cushioning you from any possible harm or hurt. He is just a protector but caging you in a cradle like a vulnerable child, keeping you away from anything that could possibly hurt your fragile pride.

It is never easy negotiating with your critic, you can never come to a consensus. By accepting that fact, you will be able to come to better terms with yourself. Remember any past regrets you have in life? Did your critic judge them too harshly for you?

But life is just too short to let the dweller stop your every move! We want change! We want progress! We want to reach new heights!

Persuade him. Comfort him. Shove him, beat him down, trample on him! Whatever it takes, you take control, and you decide your destiny.
