I get these bursts of confidence. It might even make me a little cocky-I begin to feel as if I have grown and changed completely. I forget that as soon as I relax my defenses, that insecurity can creep back in.
Right now it is there in my brain as I am searching for a new job. I question my worth as an employee. I wonder if I have what it takes even though my track record says I do. His voice reminds me that I am nothing, not good at anything, worthless. I tell it to shut up. Go away!
I hate it. That voice is a lie. My life is the truth.
So why is that voice a megaphone and my own voice is quieter than a whisper?
One step, two steps, and tomorrow I'll take more to emotionally distance myself from his powers and control. I am not a prisoner anymore, so I better stop acting like I am!
