Silenzio Bruno

Many things in life are new to us and we see them as a risk, we may be well prepared to face them, but then comes a little vice from inside us telling us that «it is impossible, that we will fail, that we are not up to the challenge and that we may as well quit and be the loser we are».

This voice is showing us our fears and insecurities and makes us feel unprepared and more frightened than ever. It may sound louder than ever, more than our years of preparation and dedication. But if we listen to it, we may lose the opportunities we have been fighting for and preparing ourselves.

Disney’s movie «Luca» talks about this moment, we cannot be too careful, but if we are, there is no point of avoid doing things and living life, because we are aware of what might happen since the beginning, and that is why we are there because we can handle the risk. But then at the moment we feel prepared this voice, Bruno comes along and shows us our insecurities and risks that make us feel unable to do what we set ourselves.

What we need to do is to silence this voice that is always showing us the bad things we have without even considering the good ones. To be objective, we need to listen to both voices and grasp reality as it is: with the good and the bad. That is why we must tell «Silenzio Bruno» when the voice attacks us into not doing what we have been preparing for or taking an opportunity.
