A Pep Talk Poem For Anyone Beginning a New Life Journey

Whether you are facing endings or new beginnings, this poem is dedicated to you. Pep talks, otherwise known as positive self-talk, can be beneficial to yourself to help you process your inner thoughts or inner dialogue. Self pep-talks are even prerequisites for any business leader, according to the Harvard Business Review.

Monarch Motivational Quote and Image By Carolyn J. Braden

I wrote this poem, or my version of a pep talk, on April 30th, 2023 in dedication to myself and my husband, as we have been dealing with a lot of endings and new beginnings with our current “Hurricane Ian life chapter”. Other incredibly strong people I am close to are also dealing with many endings and beginnings and also needed to hear my words and seemed to enjoy hearing them, so I thought you would too.

Between feeling this, as well as feeling springtime babies being born (in nature and in the animal kingdom), and it being graduation season, prom season and more, I felt it it was time to share. Enjoy!

Your stepping stone support system

Dear sweet soul

You may not have planned for this new beginning 

But the collective soul and God knew it was best for you

Climb that mountain

Sometimes life has a funny way of making us do the things we do not want to do

But ultimately, it’s the way life is

You are ready now more than ever

Adventure is freedom

You are strong

You are talented

You are love

Rise above it all and soar

Remain firm in your beliefs

Continue to listen to your intuition

And don’t forget about those that helped you along your way

Life is a journey quote

The path is clear

The road is open

And the best is yet to come
