I enjoyed this. Great idea to identify and pick the voices which serve you. Love that you have an inner Robin Williams who changes movie roles!

As I read this I hear all kinds of voices in my mind, as if on cue.

"I don't feel like it I'm too tired." One I inherited from childhood, a perfect example of baggage that was never mine, but I carried it along for years.

"It was a drive by fruiting!" A classic from Mrs. Doubtfire that comes to mind often, just in time to make laugh.

And another funny, "I'm not falling for no banana in my tailpipe" followed by Eddie Murphy's laugh.

The best thing I learned about all the voices ... is that the ones we repeat we get to keep, and the ones we encourage ourselves to just "cancel, cancel" will eventually fade away.

Wonderful and thought provoking article, Jake. Thank you.
