You know those little guys that sit on each shoulder, the good and the bad.
But there really isn't a shoulder angel that looks like you in all white or a shoulder devil, which is you in all red and holding a trident. These are figments of something in your mind, but they are real. They are the internal dialogue that everyone has.
People would tell you if you talk to yourself, having actual conversations, you'd be considered crazy.
Well call me crazy, because they are constant. Sometimes, however, you are crazy. You are crazy to engage in the conversaton with something that is much smarter and wittier than your thinking mind.
This voice can beat the crap out of you at times. You know it and should just leave it alone. It is wanting you to engage it, but the more defensive you become to it, the more it attacks. It can turn your words on you.
It is like Tom Cruise in "A Few Good Men".
Sometimes you will be better served in hearing the voice, acknowledge the truth it gives you, and move on. Don't stop to defend or justify yourself. You can't win, because it knows.
Call it your conscious, call it the ego, call it the Spirit, call it the Force....if you are a nerd.
It doesn't matter.
Sometimes you mess up.
This voice will let you know.
Listen and move on.
Don't relive it over and over in your head.
With Humility.
