dEVIL ONE (pronounced “D evil one”)

If there is anything unusual about how you walk, talk, look or act, dEVIL one will try to make you feel ashamed and defective.

If there is anything unusual about your family, friends, neighborhood, school or church, dEVIL one will try and make you feel humiliated.

If any words you have ever said can be twisted in the least way to make you look bad, dEVIL one will repeat them to you endlessly.

If any actions you have ever done can be viewed as selfish, dEVIL one will remind you of them daily, yes daily.

If any event in your life can be viewed as a failure or defeat, dEVIL one will incessantly tell you you are a disappointment.

If any significant person in your life ever misunderstands and disagrees with you, dEVIL one will accuse you constantly.

If any boss, co-worker or neighbor or ever opposes you, dEVIL one will never let you forget what they said.

If any human being ever feels threatened by your ability and attacks you, dEVIL one will blame it all on you.

Remember, dEVIL one is a liar from the beginning, all he knows is deception, so don’t bother listening to anything he says.

Tell yourself the exact opposite of what he whispers to you, and you will be pretty close to the truth.
