The champion

I chose to write this as an affirmation that could be used by anybody who is shrouded in self doubt, or called a failure.

I've been a student of #NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) for over two decades now, and am a firm believer that everything exists inside of language. This poem is inspired by a NLP presupposition that states "there is no failure, only feedback", and I've used those lines in this poem.

How should we react when we hear accusations, or are told you’re not good enough? Especially when we believe we are in integrity.

Perhaps, instead of being defensive or offensive, if we were to listen, guage, shift gears and sift through all that noise and glean the nuggets of insight that would help you succeed. They criticize because they care. Ultimately, it’s your battle and you own that field. That noise you hear from those judges, advisers and antagonists, is not very different from that voice on your GPS.
