But after some thought, I realised ___( that if we show up in our insecurity or in our fear\/ refuse opportunities\/ listen to a;; the negative in our heads) the people we need to reach will never know our ___( strength\/power\/ messages) ) We don\u2019t let ourselves trust that our practice work is enough to carry us through the scary moments ( in front of people we don\u2019t know\/ in a space we do not command ) or yes, even on display in a newspaper. Confidence in ourselves and occupying places we aren\u2019t used to isn\u2019t just about constant positivity.  It\u2019s choosing moment to moment to make small choices to show our work and be seen.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/forwardforty.com\/simplify\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/footerline-2.jpg"}
