Whose voice is it?

What is the opposite of megalomania?

Google gives me the following words.

Humility, servility, meekness, lowliness and 20 other similar words.

I look for the words ‘assertiveness’ and ‘confidence’ but fail to find those.

Is a balanced personality the mezzanine floor, somewhere between being arrogant and boastful, and being servile?

Mama Bear’s bed is too soft, and Papa Bear’s bed too hard, whereas Baby Bear needs something that is ‘just right?’

Yes, it is this ‘just right’ feeling that some of us fail to receive in childhood. Being pampered too much may boost self-worth for a short time, but lack of that support in the outside world causes teenagers to break down.

We’ve not been told “We are Enough”, “We are just right”.

The Sound of Brilliance …. by Susi Bocks

Susi Bocks's avatarI Write Her

Thanks Mindlovemisery’s Menageris – Saturday Mix for another opportunity to plug The Sound of Brilliance.

Work real hard towards an end,
I won’t pretend.
I can taste it.
I’ll never quit.

Projects are always an effort,
make my head hurt.
Ah, the reward,
talents explored.

Coming together for a cause,
only because
they are brilliant.
I’m ebullient!

Reena’s Xploration Challenge- Layers

Layers ….by Sadje

Sadje's avatarKeep it alive

Reena is the host of Reena’s Xploration Challenge

Welcome back to a world, where we are exploring spaces – inner, outer, safe, unsafe, forbidden ….

No space can be classified as completely belonging to one category. The reality of one impinges on others, altering their reality.

PROMPT #182

Layers

♾♾♾

Layers of reality

One underneath the other

Can one be true and the other false

Or is each layer a truth of someone

There exist numerous shades between black and white

It’s wise to give credence to everyone’s point of view

See in technicolor and acknowledge the grays in between the stark colors

♾♾♾♾

The Dance Between Truth And Fantasy

The dance between truth and fantasy ……. by naturewhispering

Erlyn Olivia's avatarNature Whispering


We come across many folk in life
each person has a soul and owner
but then these owners don't always converse
bunch of lonely souls trying hard to survive

These pitiful souls do lead a life
looking tough always on the face outside
but walk with knife stuck in their chest 
and wear their pride like the batman's vest

I was once told a well-known dance 
it moves between the truth and fantasy
when joining the dance please it correctly
or be lost forever in that delusional land 	

A person’s mind is a precious thing
a massive layer of joy and agony
in time the mind will have to decide
to stay in dance or bid goodbye

Strategic

The rat ran and he chased. He came out in the lawn, and looked for the rat between the shrubs. It probably disappeared in a rat hole somewhere. He walked back home to find that six other rats of different sizes were scurrying around the kitchen. They scooted away on seeing him, but with food … Continue reading Strategic
