No one should live in our heads without our permission. Ferd: Thanks very much! It took me a long time to learn to speak only kindly to myself. It made a huge difference! Elaine: Thank you, kindly! That is one of the nice parts about getting older. Really learning to do only what is best for ourselves and leaving the rest behind. dawn: Good for you! And you're welcome! Mr P: Thank you very much! When we're feeling a bit vulnerable is when the Ling voice is loudest. It's important to shout back until he's so deaf and weary, he has no choice but to exit. Jenny: Thanks again, Jen. I will visit! Agnes:

I never really considered it was there for everyone. My attitude is usually one of "ah, bo**ocks to it, who cares." but lately that's not so easy. I admire you for fighting it with reason. Great post. The voice…

This is a brilliant post Keli. Have you ever thought about doing motivational speaking? I'd think you'd pack the auditorium!

Good food. I have been driven by fear and anxieties for much of my life. It took me into my forties before I told my Ling to beat it. Eliminating negatives and accentuating positives is what I try to do now. I think you are right that it has to start with our own minds. Thanx, Kel!

I must be honest and say that you are the <em>last</em> person I would have expected to have Ling kicking around! Your writing oozes confidence, self-esteem and intelligence. And it is obviously because you have taken the stance of telling him where to go. Good for you. Keep evicting Ling - he's just living rent free in many people's heads... What a brilliant post!

Thank you so much, for the wonderful compliment you paid me - I am so moved by the fact that you keep my quote by your desk! I sincerely hope it helps you stay on target with what you want out of life. Jenny:

Have you missed him lately? I just heard him hiss! He tells me that no matter how hard I try, no one will ever want to read (much less publish ... or vice versa) anything I write. That I don't know how, that I'm not smart enough, that I'm too old and not qualified and am living in a dream world. But then I look down at a page taped to the wall beside my desk containing a sentiment I got from YOU not long ago, to wit: "Keep a perfect picture in your head of the way you'd like things to be in your life. Polish it. Make it shine. And it will come to pass." Seriously ... thanks for this post, Keli. I needed it TODAY. Ling’s living with me now. Have you missed him lately? I just heard him hiss!
