Come on little sunflower, you can do it!

When my sister was very young, for her birthday she received a pack to grow sunflowers. It instructed to water every day, and say the words...

"Come on little sunflower you can do it!"

And the sunflowers grew well and tall.

And now whenever I'm finding something difficult or am going out to try something I.e. an exam, my sister says this to me, or writes it down to take with me.

There's no shame in saying it to yourself sometimes, because acknowledging that you are small, but are determined and WILL do it, sometimes is all you need to succeed.

Come on little Blog reader, you can do it!

(It being whatever it is you are anxious about doing in life. Never fear. Grow tall like a sunflower)

N.B. 'Bethoy' is her pet name for me, though I do not remember where it came from now, nor do I suppose it matters.
