I wish to walk away from the voices in my head that say I am a failure, that remind me daily of what a disappointment I am to them. I am not a disappointment or a failure. Those words are just me judging myself more harshly than I would ever judge anyone else!
And it's a downward spiral, a self-fulfilling prophecy: When I doubt myself, I come across as insecure, and others doubt my abilities, which leads to more insecurities in me, and so on. By walking away from those voices, I can lift my head and proudly show myself to the world, with all my imperfections and silliness, and the world can see how beautiful being joyous and self-confident can be.

Excellent wish! Wow, you are so right about it being a downward spiral. It's hard learning to be as kind to ourselves as we are to others. As you wish for yourself, I wish for you also.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wish and you are none of those things that your inner critic says that you are.
ReplyDeleteAs you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.
I only have time to read a few of these wishes on Wish Wednesdays but I'm very glad I picked yours today! My wish is the same!
ReplyDeleteI hope both our head voices shut up!
I can relate a lot to this wish. As Bunny wishes for herself, so I wish for her also. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Bunnykissd,
ReplyDeleteI'd like to pop in and add some weight to your wish. You're not a failure: you're a beautiful soul.
Love the effects you add on your photo!
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you too. Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog.
Cheers from France.
