That knife of criticism that’s inside of you, you’d had it, “implanted” ever since, you can’t even remember when, can you??? Of course N-O-T. It’s the way, that you were raised.
Being criticized, for what you did, and what you failed to do. You were, a naughty boy, weren’t you, pulling on your baby sister’s pigtails, making her cry? You still got an F on your exams, although we, your parents had, reviewed over the testing materials with you, what are you, DUMB?
yeah, and it feels, EXACTLY, JUST like that too!
That knife of criticism that’s inside of you, you’d tried, to overcome, by achieving greatness, you’re now, a big-shot business owner, and everybody (all your employees, as well as those you’d done business deals with) all looked up to you. But, you’d still felt, that knife of criticism that’s inside of you, stabbing at you, making you bleed, endlessly…
That knife of criticism that’s inside of you, you will, NEVER get rid of it, it’s like, that annoying infection that you just can never cure, no matter how much antibiotics you’d taken. It may, get better, but, it will NEVER, EVER, E-V-E-R, go away! That knife of criticism that’s inside of you, you now turned outward, and you criticized those who are closest to you, because you feel safe with them.
not my picture.
And you’d, driven, ALL of your loved ones away, because you never removed that knife of criticism that was used on you, by your own parents when you were a very young child………
