Someone Is Always Watching You

Did you know that there is someone out there who is always watching you? This person mocks you every time you trip, every time you are clumsy, or every time you mess something up. Staring at you, laughing at you, jeering at you.

No, you can't get away from this person. Their all-seeing eye remarkably catches all of your embarrassing moments, but always seems to be looking away when you have an accomplishment. This person knows about all of your typos, recognizes all of your flaws, and their opinion of you is plummeting.

This person probably can get you fired, probably can get you audited, probably can get you arrested, can probably ruin your life, or probably get you killed. In fact, they are probably planning every step of your premature demise.

You can't run from this person. When you sleep, get ready, work, relax, or whatever you are doing, you are being watched. A long list of wrongs is growing, but the list of accomplishments is covered in dust.

I'm not talking about God, Google, or Big Brother--though they see a lot too. I'm not talking about your parents, your boss, your best friends, your worst enemies, but someone who knows you deeper in every way.

Stop being your own worst critic.
