Words of Affirmation
Sophia, an 8-year-old girl from Africa, embarks on a journey to find the courage within herself, using the power of affirmations. Along the way, she faces numerous obstacles but learns the true meaning of courage.
Sophia lived in a vibrant village in Africa, filled with colorful huts and lively markets. She loved exploring, but one day, she found out that her best friend, Amina, was moving away. Sophia felt a knot in her stomach. She feared she would not have the courage to say goodbye. The thought of losing Amina made her feel small and powerless. 'How will I ever find the strength to let her go?' she wondered.
Sophia decided to visit the wise old storyteller, Mama Zuri, hoping for advice. But on her way, she faced a large, intimidating river. The bridge was shaky and looked like it could collapse any moment. She hesitated, her heart pounding. 'I can't do this,' she told herself. But she remembered Mama Zuri's words about courage.
Sophia took a deep breath and began to cross the bridge. Halfway through, a plank broke, and she nearly fell! She clung to the ropes, shaking. 'I should turn back,' she thought. But then, she heard Amina's voice in her head: 'You are braver than you think.' With renewed determination, she kept moving forward.
After crossing the bridge, Sophia arrived at Mama Zuri's hut, exhausted and trembling. 'Mama Zuri, I can't find the courage to say goodbye to Amina,' she confessed. Mama Zuri smiled warmly. 'Courage isn't about not being afraid, Sophia. It's about doing what you must, even when you're scared.' Sophia sighed, feeling a little better but still unsure.
Mama Zuri handed Sophia a small pouch filled with colorful beads. 'These are words of affirmation,' she explained. 'Repeat them whenever you feel afraid.' Sophia took the pouch and whispered, 'I am strong. I am brave. I can do this.' Suddenly, she felt a surge of confidence. 'Thank you, Mama Zuri,' she said, smiling.
With the pouch of affirmations, Sophia returned to the village. The next day, she found Amina packing her bags. 'Amina, I have something to say,' Sophia began. She held Amina's hand and repeated the affirmations, feeling braver with each word. 'I'll miss you, but I know we will always be friends,' she said, tears in her eyes. Amina hugged her tightly. 'Thank you, Sophia. You are the bravest person I know,' Amina whispered.
