(A Story About 2 TFM – Use the Voice of Insecurity for Amusement and Inspiration)
Inse sat in his fourth-grade classroom, tapping his pencil against his notebook. Ms. Williams was explaining a tricky math problem, but his mind kept drifting to the playground outside.
Then, a familiar voice whispered in his head.
“You’ll never understand this problem. Math is just too hard for you.”
Inse slumped in his chair. That voice always made him feel like giving up.
After school, Curity found him sitting at the kitchen table, looking frustrated. “What’s wrong, Inse?”
“I can’t focus in class,” he muttered. “Every time I try, the voice of insecurity tells me I’m not good enough.”
Curity smiled. “That voice sure likes to talk, doesn’t it? But guess what? You can use it instead of letting it stop you.”
Inse looked confused. “Use it?”
Curity nodded. “Next time it says you can’t do something, laugh a little. Treat it like a challenge. Say, ‘Oh yeah? Watch me!’ and then prove it wrong.”
The next day, Inse sat in class, staring at a new math problem.
“You’re going to mess up,” the voice whispered.
Instead of feeling bad, Inse smirked. Oh yeah? Watch me! he thought.
He picked up his pencil and focused harder than ever. He didn’t get the answer right at first, but he kept going.
When Ms. Williams checked his work, she smiled. “Great effort, Inse! You’re improving!”
Inse grinned. The voice of insecurity was still there, but now, instead of stopping him, it pushed him forward.
And that made all the difference.
