In an interview with The Players Tribune, eight-time Grand Slam winner Andre Agassi revealed how he defeated then champion Boris Becker. Becker and Agassi were both at the top of their game in the late 80s and early 90s. Boris Becker had beaten Agassi three times. He was a top-ranking player at the time because of his unique serve, something the game had never seen before.
I also battle the inner critic. For years, I allowed it to stop me writing, over and over again. Now, I have it somewhat under control although every now and again it sneaks out and cripples me again. I've got a list of tricks stuck to my wall that sometimes help me beat it, for me the challenge is noticing when it has taken over. Sometimes it takes a while for me to realise I'm in that mindset. Once I've noticed, I'm better able to deal with it.
Neera, I'm fighting with my inner critic too. of late, I've decided to just write and connect with my audience and get better at expressing myself, and then later critic my grammar...my writing voice. Right now I want to organize my time and build momentum, which takes a lot of persistence as you know. Just seeing little steps of progress fuels my ambition.
