Self Talk

Sometimes we have to be our own cheerleader. Especially when we pursue something others are not yet seeing or understanding. We have to remind ourselves of the whys and wherefores of our conviction that we do in fact see something. We have to develop the capacity to discern between the many voices that accuse so "lovingly" of our craziness or naivete.
Courage flags for many reasons. Not everyone has an Arwyn in their life whispering bold assertions of destinies fulfilled. We learn to whisper to ourselves. Tentatively at first. Almost embarrassed at the audacity and self-centeredness of the exercise. It is not long, though, that we learn our survival depends upon it.
