If fear
Betrays love
And envy betrays friendship
Then our subconscious insecurities
Will try to level the playing field
By putting down those people we envy
If subconscious fear of failure is the enemy
Then why do cheerleaders—
Who boo at the vulnerabilities of their team—
Go boohoo
When asked
To turn their pompoms in?
In recent years, I was glad to learn
That my (NGU) spirit had to exhaust on the field
Before I chose to pass the baton
Thank goodness I gave my mind time to rest on the bench
Until common sense blew dark clouds away
And in/sight made sense of nonsense, at last
Once my mind and spirit felt re-energized
I found myself ready to cheer from the sidelines
For every member of my team
Because
Here is how the game plan
Has changed for me:
Rather than engaging
With negative attitudes
That drive me crazy
My (Never-Give-Up) Spirit
Has retrained my mind to relax
While loved ones tunnel at their own pace
When Annie grows up
She'll show you, step by step, how this
Positively focused, clear minded plan came to be
Then, as seeing is believing
I trust that you, too, may feel inspired
To pick up your pompoms and—
Hone your leadership abilities
Until your mind is trained
To create positively focused energy fields of your own
And as mixed messages stabilize, I have sound reason to believe that
Your teammates (family, pack of friends)
Will sense your readiness to connect with them …
Consistently
Trustfully
Securely
When positive energy fields exist in home after home
Team mates, the world over
May encourage the growth of peaceful co-existence
By reciting
This cheer:
Go!
As that's it for today
Let's raise our pompoms
And close this post by jumping up and shouting right out loud:
Hooray for creative thinking patterns that produce positive energy fields!
☺Your positively focused, calm-assertive, loquacious friend
Annie
