If we say good and positive things, good and positive things (experiences) happen to us. These words give us the2opportunityto experience life from a positive or optimistic point of3view, on the other hand, we come from negativity and say negative things,4accordinglynegative things happen to us or we5end upseeing life as one big problem or disappointment.While we are all familiar with our external speech or voice, we also have another voice that we work with and6interactwith every day. This is our inner voice. While at first glance you may think: what is inner voice? But when you come right down to it, we are all familiar with our inner voice. Our inner voice is that small utterance that comes from deep within us,7whosejob it is to provide us with guidance. This is a different kind of communication than8whatcomes from our normal waking consciousness, which I call our analyzer. When our analyzer is talking, the communication we receive tends to seem more like a9nonstopconversation that goes on inside our heads all day and sometimes well into the10night.I.
