Influence

The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice, your "self critic". It can work for you or against you, depending on the messages you allow. It can be pessimistic or optimistic. It can wear you down or cheer you on. You control the sender and the receiver, but only if you consciously take responsibility and control of your inner conversation. - Keith Harrell

The most important words we'll utter are those words we say to ourselves, about ourselves, when we're by ourselves.
