Paradoxically, the only way we can ever be ‘better’, is to stop listening to that inner voice that is always trying to convince us that we are that voice. We are not. We are the space that it resides in. The only way we can ever be that voice is through believing that it is us.

This little voice is effectively the same as eating rat poison. That voice is poisonous. It poisons our lives, our existence and fills us up with barrels of toxic waste. That poison that puts us into arguments, fights, states of pain and sadness – the list can go on and on. It never leads us to happiness. When did that voice ever say for more than a day “I am happy” – it never has and will never because happiness is dependent on believing that that voice is not you. We are simply the space that that voice resides in. Sometimes that voice can help us in the practicality of our lives but it can never, and will never lead us to a real desired state. Next time you believe or hear that negative voice, ask yourself how it differs from eating rat poison. It doesn’t. Consciously choose better thoughts.
