They sound the same but they're totally different. You hear them all the time, from the minute you wake up to the minute you go to sleep. One is louder than the other and they both tell you what to do. However, you're the one who decides which one you'll listen to.

Two voices, one head.

Most people listen to the loudest voice. The one in bold, which many times feels as though it were screaming at you. It's easier to listen to it because it makes more sense... it's usually linked to how you feel, to the past, and to fears you've had.

Why should I forgive her if she has never apologised for what she has done? Why should I humble myself to someone who doesn't even deserve my respect? Why should I trust if everybody has disappointed me in some way?


These loud voices make a lot of sense, especially to our human nature which is highly attracted to what is not good. You can listen to these voices anywhere and at anytime. They're too clear to miss... and they torment you while pretending to be doing you a favor... It has most advantages over the other voice but it's the one you should constantly ignore... Those who listen to this voice do what they want, achieve what they want, and yet, are never ever happy with what they get.

The gentle other voice however, also speaks all the time but it's hardly ever listened to. And when you finally listen to it, it doesn't make much sense. It asks you to go against everything that you are, that you've known, and that you feel. It's never harmful and yet, your ego feels attacked. It's often in italic, smooth, and quite elegant I must say...Those who listen to it don't do what they want and end up getting everything they've never thought they could get. The too-good-to-be-true-excuse is no applicable.

The secret has not changed. It's the same for thousands of years. Listen to the right voice within so you can make the right decision and have what you should have: a life.

In faith,
