Dr. Aziz explains why people listen to their internal critic even though it predicts failure inaccurately. That voice feels certain and safe, so we avoid risks and shrink our lives. The work challenges you to stop believing it and act bigger.

That voice in your head is not accurate at predicting what's going to happen next. It's not accurate at predicting what's possible for you. So it'll say, if you go talk to those people, they're not going to like it's going to go badly. If you take on this project at work, you're going to fail. You can't do it. You're not good enough. You're not smart enough. Right. You know that voice. You know the voice I'm talking about. We all do. The problem is not that voice. Every human's got it as far as I can tell. The problem is that people with low self confidence have a high degree of doubt in themselves. Don't believe in themselves because they're believing in that voice. Now why on earth would you believe in a voice that keeps telling you you suck and you can't get better? It's not going to work out. Is that really true? Now the person will say, yeah, that's true. That's how it is. Disease. And I have proof, because they've been living out what that voice tells them. The reason that we listen to that voice comes down to one thing. It gives you a feeling of certainty and control. I know it's going to happen in the future. Bad things to me. So I'm not going to take any risks. I'm going to keep my life as small and downsized as possible until you stop believing that voice.
