The inner critic

The internalized voice of judgment that speaks in accents of your teachers, your culture, your fears—useful only insofar as it can be questioned and sometimes overruled by deeper conviction. Most creative blocks trace not to absent talent but to an inner critic whose standards you've never actually examined, whose claims you treat as fact rather than opinion.
