Fire The Critic; Hire The Coach

You talk to yourself all day long.
Not once or twice. Not occasionally. Constantly.

In fact, researchers estimate your brain runs through thousands of thoughts a day—some up to tens of thousands. Not all are conscious. Not all are helpful. But almost all are automatic.

And while your mouth might speak 150 words a minute, your mind? It flies.

Inner dialogue can race through thousands of mental “words” every minute—judgments, doubts, plans, predictions. Like a nonstop broadcast running just beneath the surface.

Now ask yourself:
How many of those thoughts are helpful?
How many are critical?
How many have you thought before?

And for how long?

Some thoughts have been with you for years—unchallenged, unquestioned, automatic.

But here’s the real question:
How many are actually true?

Not familiar. Not loud.
True.

Because repetition creates belief.
Not accuracy.

Here’s the problem:
If you actually surveyed your thoughts, you’d notice something.

They’re not new.
They’re not fresh.
They’re not even yours, always.

At some point, we stop having thoughts.
They start having us.

We become the stories we’ve rehearsed.
The critic gets louder.
The encourager fades.

And slowly—quietly—we start living smaller.
Not because we’re incapable.
But because our thoughts say we are.

For many of us, it’s time for a REVOLUTION.

Time to get honest—about the dishonest thoughts that are running the show.
Because an idea can be one of two things:

A portal.
Or a prison.

Words create worlds.
And the ones you repeat—out loud or in silence—shape the one you live in.

How troubled the backup with real talent—
But who can’t step forward, because doubt decides what’s possible.

How sad the artist who makes something beautiful—
But hides it away, because fear still holds the key.

How wearisome the worker with the insight everyone needs—
But stays quiet, because the voice of a boss from three jobs ago still calls the shots.

You don’t have to keep that voice.

You can retrain it.
You can rewire it.
You can fire the critic—and hire the coach.

The one who knows your strengths.
The one who remembers your reps.
The one who keeps their cool when things get loud.

That voice is built, not born.
And the building starts now.
