I hit “Rewind” once ... twice ... three times.
I’ve seen the film hundreds of times and yet the following still seemed as if I was hearing it for the first time: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
As I thought about the scene over and over again, it made me think of the following, “People only hear what they want to hear.”
This case was not any different.
Christopher’s message to Pooh stood out to me because that’s what I wanted or needed to hear.
I needed to hear this message in order to remind myself of the importance to continue creating spaces for people to be understood and appreciated.
I needed to hear this message to remind myself that despite the current adversity many of us are facing around the world, there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.
My hope is that by sharing this, it’ll remind you that you have unique gifts within you and you have what it takes to get through any challenge that’s in front of you.
Just remember, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
