Quote Of The Day

"Confidence is silent. Insecurities are loud." 
                                                             
~Jane Curnow

When I first heard the above quote, I immediately thought of my high school years and other times in my life when I compensated for my lack of confidence by trying to appear super-confident; being vocal, opinionated, laughed along even when I didn't find things funny, carried myself with a power pose. But inside I was shaky, timid, unsure of myself, and deeply afraid of anyone picking up on that.
But high school aside, I now look at this quote and see it from a whole other perspective: How do confidence and the lack thereof sound to US in our heads.
Confidence is quiet like an inner knowing that I have to be very much at ease to hear, while insecurities and doubts are always screaming loud to make sure I hear them and tend to their worries. Meditation has helped me navigate around these very different sounds in my head and so does practicing a healthy mindset and inner talk. It's a seesaw, a game of chess, an up or down dynamic that is probably always going to be a practice and never fully achieved...

    In April 2020, while experiencing  her first ever global pandemic, Tamar Pelzig  pledged to write something every day, even if it's only a word, so she welcomed to the world a daily blog to keep her creative writing wheels rolling.

    What evolved is a collection of short stories, poems, life lessons, blurbs and even a play or two.  

    If you find her lil' life lessons and imaginative storytelling enjoyable or useful - please comment and share!
