I have a ghost as a roommate.

During my session, with a brilliant young client, he shared this title with me. I thought to myself – this is it! I begin reflecting on my own life and thought about my ghost. I remember being so fearful of public speaking and battling with my own “ghost” for years. My roommate was always that other voice in my head, telling me, “You are going to make a fool of yourself, you are not smart, or you are going to mess up and shake throughout your speech. Remember to avoid speaking at all costs!” I listened to her and avoided public speaking for years out of fear. When I became a young adult in college, I had to face my roommate and began having serious conversations with her. I realized one of us had to move out. My house was not big enough for the two of us. I wanted to flourish but she wanted to remain negative and not change! I enjoyed our conversations at times – because it was comfortable. Eventually, I became weary of her and wanted to learn new things and face my challenges head-on. I evicted my roommate and said, “NO MORE”. I refuse to live being pessimistic and in fear! I turned the negative words into a victorious-filled life. (Inspired by an Amazing Person)
