Maybe if humans were like plants we’d take better care of each other. Humans can die from the inside if nobody’s checking to make sure we’re watered, to make sure we’re getting enough sunlight. Humans look perfectly okay on the outside when neglected but plants can be seen withering away. Please don’t let the pain of the people you love go unnoticed. Please pay attention to the signs.

Just because you don’t say much doesn’t mean people don’t notice you. It’s actually the quiet ones who often draw the most attention. There’s this constant whirlwind of motion and sound all around, and then there’s the quiet one, the eye of the storm.

That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

It’s true that you really are your own worst critic. Why? Because it is only you that is able to see every little flaw that you may have. You are the only one that hears each and every one of your thoughts. It is you who can speak, say, and criticize yourself without anything being around to stop you from doing so. Yet, you are the only one who is able to control your worst critic. Instead of listening to words of shame, defeat, and failure, choose to listen to those of encouragment, self respect, and wisdom. Choose to listen to your higher voice. Your biggest supporter. Your strongest nurturer. You only deserve to hear the best from yourself; whether it’s to grow or to learn. So please, listen to your best self, And banish your worst critic from your life.
