She hides herself away scared
hoping
wanting
someone, anyone to care enough
to come and look for her
and offer her a hand.

She waits minutes turn to hours
which turn to months and years.
She sees life passing her by
and she feels sad and even more alone.

Then one day a stranger appears
someone who looks familiar but not some how
Without saying anything, they sit and wait.
Finally after about 15 minutes
the stranger asks, "What are you waiting for?"

She answers in a whisper
"Courage, confidence, and hope"
The stranger replies "But, you have all those things"
she looks into their eyes, "what do you mean, I have them?

“You have them inside you.
Just find a way to believe, as they come from within"

"But ...” she starts to interrupt...

"NO, No buts... I am telling you. You need to look within yourself,
because you already possess all those things.

Believe that whatever you do
no matter what the outcome is
whether good or bad.
Tomorrow is always a fresh start
a chance to begin again 
and that means anything is possible.

Because just like this conversation
if you can dream it, you can do
because you are you
and you are unique
and the only version of you there is
so that makes you the very best..
