Confront Your Real Story: Get Rid of the Ghost

“There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their world fall apart, and all they could do is stare blankly.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Have you ever felt like you were losing hope? A point to where your mind cannot shut down the racing thoughts of fear, doubt, and inadequacy? All you do is sit and stare. You are exhausted, feel empty, alone, and trapped like a prisoner in your own body. Positive thoughts quickly turn to despair. Inside, your heart hurts. The pain spreads to your muscles, joints, and bones. You no longer have goals, lost all passion for the things you love, cannot focus on work, and begin to walk through life as if you are a ghost.

“I walk around the world like a ghost, and sometimes I question whether I even exist. Whether I’ve ever existed at all.” – Paul Auster, From Travels in the Scriptorium

You are invisible. Nobody can see you are in pain. You hide from others too withdrawn to interact and put a smile on.  You are a person who has given so much of yourself to others that you have no identity left. You no longer know who you are, where you are going, or where to turn. Relationships continue to fail because your expectations of yourself and others are too high. Scars once healed are repeatedly re-opened. You feel cold, unlovable, and abandoned by those closest to you.

“All it takes is a beautiful fake smile to hide an injured soul and they will never notice how broken you really are.” – Robin Williams

You are a loyal soul, giving endlessly to others with only hopes of receiving help in return at a time of need. Then that time comes. You are suffering, physically sick, cannot explain in words how you feel, and when you look around nobody is there. Those closest to you have their own problems to deal with. You can no longer be their rock. Your friendship is of no value now. You are broken.

  

“When she betrayed and abandoned me in my darkest hour, I was distraught, broken-hearted, devastated and dismayed. I could not believe I lost my best friend. It took a long time before I realized I did not lose my best friend. She lost hers.” – Stace Morris

The breaking point is here. Teetering on that line, you know that you have three choices: give up, give in, or fight. The answer is in the power of your mind.

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.” – Buddha

This is my REAL STORY being read through your lenses. My story is not unique. Many of us have at one time in our life been here. In the past year, I have learned a lot from successful people. I listened to their words, studied their successes, and read their books. There are four key messages that I have heard over and over again: (1) allow yourself to be vulnerable, (2) share your story, (3) be authentic, and (4) know your strengths. This is where the true healing comes from. It takes courage, discipline, and trusting yourself for true transformation to occur.

“Strength is not measured by the ability to carry our pain, hurt and wounds. It is not about denying our feelings and soldiering on. Strength comes from our capacity to remain open, and vulnerable, allowing healing to take place. Strength is owning and acknowledging our feelings and emotions - moving beyond our scars, and recognizing the wisdom contained within them. Strength is empowered by love and compassion.” - Julie Parker.

Today, as a Certified Strength Coach and Entrepreneur, I use my own unique strengths to serve and inspire others. Your story does not have to end in despair, disappointment, or pain. Choosing your mindset, determination, self-love, and courage will give you the strength to be your best self. But, sustainability only comes when you intentionally choose to wake up with positive thoughts, get rid of toxic people in your life, and surround yourself with those who will encourage you and believe in you.

"We all possess innate talents that when developed into strengths drive our purpose in life. Your purpose is a calling only you can discover within. Live your life intentionally, be your best self, and never give away your passions, dreams, or HOPE!" – Beckie Jorgensen

If you are ready to take control of your life, relationships, and career to find happiness, fulfillment and success, you are my ideal client. I would love to help guide you in your journey, support your transformation, and watch you reach your true POTENTIAL in life.
