Wow, you hit the nail on the head. The one voice is hopeful and the other voice is resentful. The one says accept and improve and the other says why me.
I also wish the one would simply shut up, but the strange thing is that at times I agree with it.
Are we mad? No, I think not as it is the old versus the new methinks.
It is that agreement that is a bit of a worry - instead of having a coach looking to help, it is one getting buy-in for failure.
Exactly right and one ends up as confused as a bat in daylight.
