Your Inner Critic Is Not Against You

‘Our inner critic hates when we set goals, it’s literally like, ‘Who is this bitch to tell me what to do.’- Lia Garvin

Listen to what you are hearing from your inner self. If you do not have the courage to hear yourself, to make peace with what you are hearing from your inner self, you are not going to know what is going on in your life.

Whatever your inner critic is telling you to do, do not just brush it aside. Listen to it. Explore it. If it makes sense to you, if it is going to increase your life, if it is going to make you a more valuable person, then go for it.

But if it is against you, your life, your dreams, then you don’t need to feed it. Let it go.

Perfection Is Your Enemy

‘Perfection doesn’t need grace, and for misfits like us, we need to understand our need for grace over perfection. Perfection will not give us what we are looking for, and in fact perfection tends to change its definition whenever we think we’ve attained it. Exposing your flaws gives grace a chance to do the healing instead of covering yourself with false perfection.’

No one is holding you back from achieving what you want to achieve. No one is blocking you from reaching your destination, from achieving your dreams.

You are not moving forward because you want to be perfect. You want to get everything right before you start.

‘… we need … grace over perfection. Perfection will not give us what we are looking for….Exposing your flaws gives grace a chance to do the healing instead of covering yourself with false perfection.’- Bob Goff

You want to know everything before you do something. Stop it. Do not hold yourself back. You have what it takes to move forward. If you do not do it now, when are you going to move your life forward, when are you going to take your own leap of faith?
