The Voice Within

What do I mean by "The Voice Within"? I mean the voice inside of you. I don't know if you have ever felt something is talking to you from the inside on a thing you wanna do; maybe pushing you to do it or telling you not to. That is what I meant by the voice within. Sometimes, this voice can be right and sometimes it can be wrong. You wanna exhibit your talent and this voice is telling you not to. Believe in yourself and get the voice silenced.

The post impressionist painter of Dutch origin, Vincent Willem Van Gogh once said and I quote: "If you hear a voice within you that says, 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced". Following that quote, I will now say, "If you hear a voice within you that says, 'you cannot succeed,' then by all means succeed and the voice will be silenced". Most of the times, the voice might not be from the inside of you. It might be people around you that tag you as failure. Tell them to their face that they didn't make you, so they can't predict your future. You are more than who everyone sees you to be. Awake the giant inside of you and silence all negative voices. YES, YOU CAN.
