Strong with confidence: How to become courageous and self-confident!

Strong with confidence: Rosa Immergrün and the adventure on the Spiegelpass

Spring begins in the Neflental valley. Crocuses and violets are sprouting everywhere. The violet glade shines in delicate violet, bright sunny yellow and fresh green leaves. A gentle breeze blows through the valley and rays of sunshine dance on the moss. A statue stands in the middle of the violet glade. Her ancient gaze shines pearl grey as the sun's rays touch her eyes. It is the time when everyone takes courage.

A plan and a promise

Rosa Periwinkle sits together with her friends. They laugh and tell stories. Suddenly someone talks about the Spiegelpass, the icy mountain path. It is so smooth that it reflects the blue of the sky. Many consider it too dangerous. Nobody from the valley has climbed up there this spring.

"They say the ice is as slippery as soap!" someone shouts. "If you slip, you'll never get to the top." A hesitation runs through the group. But the statue in the violet glade seems to wink at them. Rosa Periwinkle listens to herself and senses that she wants to give it a try.

Setting off for the mirror pass with confidence

The next morning, everyone packs their rucksacks with warm cloths and a portion of courage. The sun shines so clearly that the ice crystal on the mirror glows. Rosa Periwinkle sets off. Small, friendly birds flutter around her. "Don't be afraid!" calls one. "We trust you!"

The higher they climb, the colder the air becomes. The feet tremble a little. But Rosa Immergrün remembers the promise: Those who trust and remain courageous will reach their goal. So she climbs carefully, putting one foot in front of the other without rushing.

The steep path and the power of self-confidence

The Spiegelpass shines particularly brightly today. It looks like a ribbon painting the sky on the mountain. A gust of wind comes, and for a moment Rosa Immergrün sways. She slips a few centimetres. Her heart is pounding in her throat. She thinks: "Can I do this? What if I fall?"

But then she remembers the smile in the violet glade and how her friends accompanied her. She speaks quietly to herself: "I can do this. I won't give up." She trusts in her strength and continues to balance carefully. The sun now shines warmer on her back.

Arrival at the summit and the glowing feeling afterwards

Suddenly it's done. Pink evergreen stands at the top of the pass. The ice shimmers in all colours - purple, yellow, green and pearl grey. Deep below, she can see the violet glow. She feels brave and satisfied, proud of what she has achieved.

The way back almost flies by. Rosa Periwinkle laughs because her fear has disappeared. She now knows that trust in yourself makes you strong. Sometimes you just have to dare to take a step.

What do we learn from this?

Those who are courageous and trust themselves can also walk difficult paths. Friends can accompany you, but courage grows in your own heart. Every time you try something new, your trust in yourself grows a little more. This makes you strong and much easier to tackle new adventures.
