Beating Mr. Neg(ative)

We all get those mean voices in our heads from time to time. 

Thanks to the positive songwriting genius that is Mr. Howard Jones, these lyrics perfectly articulate what many of us feel and encourage us that we can overcome them. There are two voices in our head—positive and negative— which we decide to fuel or feed.

These lines in particular get me:

                                       Oh, no my buddy is back with the cynical views

                                       Dines on my beautiful core and only brings me the bad news

                                       Sits on my shoulder and whispers nasty things in my ear

                                       Seems to get stronger as the right destination comes near

Doesn't it seem true that just as you are on the precipice of a breakthrough or going to the next level in life, those dark voices get just a bit louder? I believe in you and I believe in me. We will win this time...💖
