We are haunted, all of us, by things that do not exist.
How many times have we hesitated at the threshold of opportunity, paralyzed by the possibility of embarrassment or rejection? How often have we silenced ourselves, convinced that we are not good enough?
The fear of failure, the dread of judgment, the anxiety of not being enough. These are the phantoms—creatures of our own making.
Picture waking up each morning with the certainty that your voice matters, that your choices are valid, and that your dreams are achievable. Imagine the risks you would take, the love you would give, the art you would create, if you weren’t forever seeking the approval of people who aren’t even watching.
Let’s live with intention. Let us speak, create, and dare, as if the ghosts were never real—because they never were.
I’ll be back with more next week.
Stay tuned.
