Loved reading what actually reflects my own story. My inner self (genius) always told me " yes ,you can" but I never let it speak loud. Now it is the time. Thanks Sidz, speaking so real .

Loved the Read, Sidz. The Inner Genius reminded me of the last paragraph in my story "I Can Coach" 2&3. So true, My inner noise is loud ,but now I will name my Inner Couch Potato and Visualise My Inner Genius - to follow her gentle whispers. Thanks Sidz

Worth reading,Agree with you Sidz! Silencing the inner critic and nurturing the inner genius is key to growth. It's all about recognizing our potential and allowing ourselves the freedom to explore, learn, and excel without being held back by self-doubt. Let your inner brilliance shine!

I can relate to this article in many ways . I was always like this. now by joining ILH I have taken that bold step listening to my inner Genius and I know I am meant for something else in my life than just a mediocre life of going to 9 to 5 job.

Thank you for showing me the mirror, I need to shut my inner demon and start shining like I did. I have stopped taking risk and feel so low as my self doubt has got super loud. It's time to shut it up to let my inner genius shine bright. Thank you Sidz for this eye opener again.

Great blog... it has shaken me inside out ... Has reaffirmed my determination to shun all wasteful activities and concentrate on course building and launching. Though, month end is not very far and have started codexes today only ( completed till business codex), BUT am confident that I will be freedom finisher this time.

This blog inspires me all the more.

Lots of Aha Moments and Learnings....

Safe and secure is the graveyard where dreams go to die.

Every time you listen to your Inner Idiot, you’re paying a price (cost to your soul).

There is no “right time.” There’s only NOW.

How do you stop listening to your Inner Idiot and start following your Inner Genius?

1. Give that inner critic a name. (separate that voice from your true self).

2. Set a Timer on Doubt (Max 5 minutes to decide and then act).

3. Visualize Your Inner Genius (older, wiser version of yourself).

4. Start small. Listen to that whisper when it says, “Take the risk.” “Make the call.” “Start the blog.” It’s okay if it feels uncomfortable at first.

Shut up your Inner Idiot and let your Inner Genius take the wheel. Because It knows exactly where you’re meant to go.

Start listening to the whispers of your Inner Genius.

This is the "fate" of millions who are "knowingly" struggling, because they think they are in a safe place which is "risk free." Unfortunately, they have no idea that they are already being fooled by their own indecision and self doubt . This article should open the eyes of such characters who are knowingly risking their futures.

Even during the thunder, the grass heard the soils whisper to embrace it and protect the woods and so did the grass blades till it dawned as a beautiful morning

This piece is a brilliant reminder to stop listening to that nagging "Inner Idiot" and trusting that "Inner Genius." actions matter the most, even when doubts creep in. your advice to give your inner critic a funny name and move forward without overthinking is spot on. Time to ditch the doubts and let my @<@ genius shine!...superb read
