What does the voice inside your head say to you? I’m not talking about that “still, small voice,” but rather that loud and seemingly inescapable one, the one that calls for your attention despite your best efforts to ignore it. (If you’re asking yourself, “What voice is she talking about,” the voice that just asked you that question is precisely the one I’m talking about.)

I was listening to a radio interview earlier this week in which the woman being interviewed, "Susie,” was describing a moment from her childhood when she, and a bunch of other girls, attended a slumber party at a friend’s ("Janie's") house.

If we can all be successful, have abundant wealth, and create and live our dreams, why do some of us achieve it and others don’t? Besides, we all want the same things, don’t we? I have yet to meet a person who has said that they don’t want to be successful, they don’t want to have a lot of money in their bank account, they don’t want to be in a satisfying and meaningful relationship, they don't want to be healthy, they don’t want to realize their dreams.

If ever there was a creative genius (and there were many), Michelangelo is surely a name that comes to mind. After all, he created one of the world’s greatest fresco paintings (the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel), one of the world’s architectural wonders (the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica), and many of the world’s greatest sculptures (David and the Pieta).
