One word.
I
have one word that I absolutely love. It is a word that has so many meanings.
That is one reason why I love it.
You could
find this word defined as “to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or
the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right
in doing so.” Or, “to have confidence or faith in the truth of (a positive
assertion, story, etc); give credence to.” Those definitions came from
dictionary.com.
Do you know
which word it is yet?
A few years
ago Charmed came home and put this nice little paperweight thingy on my desk.
You see, the Charmed One knows sometimes I lack self confidence. And believe it
or not, just looking at this little paperweight brings a smile to my face, and
makes me have a little more faith in myself.
Have you
figured out which word I am talking about yet? HINT: I have used this word one
time so far in this rant. J
Okay. Okay.
Here it is…
Yes, the
word is believe. I just got it tattooed on my arm, as a matter of fact. Well,
the tattoo is of a quill that just finished writing the word believe. The writer in me needed another
little something, so I tied the quill in with my favorite word. I’m happy with
it, even if it hurt a wee bit more than the last one.
Someone
asked me the other day believe what? There are so many ways I could go with
that answer, but I just said, “Yourself.” (The jokester in me wanted to say,
Santa Claus. J) I’ll admit that at
times I don’t believe in myself enough. I sometimes lack confidence. (You’ll
possibly hear more about that in Thursday’s blog.) The writing life is a long
and sometimes frustrating one. At times I wonder if I am just wasting time
trying to get published. I wonder if I really suck at this thing that I want to
make it so bad in. Sometimes I do get down when I realize I didn’t win another
writing competition, when the numbers of views for this blog are down, or when
no one responds or likes anything I put on the KRW facebook page.
Those
periods of feeling like I’m a loser don’t last long. If you feel like this too
just remember… We can’t let them last long. We have to pick our heads up and
put one foot in front of the other. We have to believe in ourselves. Right? Because
we deserve that belief. We can’t let life beat us down. We rock. We are good
people, and we will not let anyone or anything keep us down. We will conquer!
It may not happen overnight, but we will overcome our doubts and fears. We will
be the person we see inside our heads. J
What is
one word you like above all others? Do you have tattoos?
