In the agitation of intentional transition
a threat to confidence I consciously allowed.
Soul asks, “Do you know what you can do?”
and reminds me of a casual style avowed.
A loving voice not my own exhorts, “Trust yourself”
melting the icy texture of fear into knowledge matured.
With casual trust I float in creative flow
exiting a bubble of limitation with confidence assured.
−J. Brunson
Leadership Poem 1 – From Ed’s Story & loving encouragement from my best friend Becky
Well, Jeff, never knew you are a poet as well as a writer! I like the “loving voice” and in time my wish for you is that it becomes your own.
Well … don’t know if I’m a poet; but that doesn’t stop me for trying!
Wow awesome poem! Love the message in it!
Thanks Heidi. Hope all is well with you.
What an important message, Jeff! I think that trusting yourself is the most important thing any of us can do. Sometimes we have to listen for the wee small voice that tells us what we already know at some level. Wonderful format for sharing this message, too!
So beautiful, Jeff. As always, your words inspire me to be a better leader and really appreciate my relationships with my clients.
Jeff, this is lovely! Thank you so much for sharing your very creative poem with us. I love the way you broke through the bubble with your new burst of self confidence.
Wonderful poem, Jeff. I love the line about exiting the bubble of limitation. I seeing you floating along in a tiny little bubble, but then suddenly being able to see possiblilities outside of that bubble–then out pops a confident Jeff floating along like a dancing feather. Who knows where the wind of possibility will take you.
