A #dailysketchext from my journal. This is me, or rather, a part of me. You know that voice? The one inside that is not necessarily really loud, but always seems to know the right answer/general direction (and often she is advocating directions that look incredibly intimidating)? This is a drawing of that voice in me, a few years ago. This reminds me that I need to listen to her good advice more often.
...I've been learning lately that sometimes I have limited the possibilities that were available to me. I don't know if this is true for you but I do know Someone who tries to help us with our perspective on possibilities because he says that anything is possible. Maybe it just would have to come about in a way that you can't imagine right now. You know what I mean?
My number one enemy to being able to think clearly or trust myself, even when I probably should, is if someone accuses me of listening to my own voice and somehow through this violating the principles of right and wrong or that I've hurt someone somehow. It is the number one way to throw me off and people who have seen this weakness in me have used it against me mercilessly. My only defense was to make sure of the more important things. My only defense was so study up and make sure that what I was doing was really in line with the truth. If it was/is than I know that I am ok. There will always be haters, though, even if you are doing everything right.
