Buenos Días Son

Buenos Días Son,

Squashing the voice of the “little knucklehead” inside you:

I believe that inside everyone there is a little knucklehead. Some people call that little knucklehead the “chatterbox”.

The little knucklehead inside of us works like this. During the course of our day we will be greeted by someone who will say something as simple as, “good morning”. In most cases, we will greet them with a good morning as well. Inside us, however there may be that little knucklehead who may scream out, “what’s so good about it?”

The little knucklehead may go on to say, “How can this be a good morning? After all, I didn’t get enough sleep last night and on top of that it’s raining out and I’m soaking wet!”.

Basically, the little knucklehead is always negative and anyone who is always negative is quite obviously not very smart. The little knucklehead is like an internal hater trying to get you to hate on everyone and everything. That’s because the little knucklehead, just like haters, is miserable and misery loves company.

So what do we do about the little knucklehead. Well, it’s definitely not always easy to drown out his voice, mostly because his voice sounds just like our voice because it’s inside of our head.

One thing we can do to squash the voice of the little knucklehead is to simply say, “if that voice inside me were stronger and not so weak, they would see the absolute beauty that this day has to offer”. We can also just be blunt and say, “hey, shut up!”. While that may seem harsh, those who seek to undermine our happiness and steal our joy must understand that there is no place for destructive nonsense in our lives.

Whatever you do, don’t let that little knucklehead inside you stop your day before your day even gets started. When you control your thoughts, you control your life.

Well, that’s all for now!

Have an amazing day and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Love,

Dad
