Living With the Voices

Not satisfied.
Never enough.
Not good.
Failure.

Can you live at peace while these thoughts live inside your head—rent free?

They show up uninvited. Familiar. Persistent. Loud. And if left unchecked, they begin to define the atmosphere of your inner world.

You have a choice.

You can comfort them—treat them as truth, listen to them, justify them.
Or you can coexist with them—acknowledge their presence without obedience.
You can feed them—ruminate, replay, reinforce.
Or you can expel them—challenge, discipline, replace.

These thoughts are not commands. They are signals.
And peace is not found in eliminating discomfort, but in refusing to be ruled by it.

Decide what stays.
Decide what goes.

“You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius
