"Hey friends! It’s me, Monkey the Talking Cat. Have you ever told yourself,'I can’t do that'—before even trying? Yep, me too. That sneaky voice inside our heads? It’s called self-doubt. And if we let it, it can hold us back from amazing things.""One day, I decided I wanted to fly. No, not really fly like birds do—but glide from the top of the couch to the bottom in my custom-built kitty glider. I built it out of two pizza boxes and a pair of Teddy’s old socks.(Don’t ask.) But as I climbed up, ready to launch… I froze.‘What if I flop?’ I thought.‘What if everyone laughs?’ And that’s when self-doubt crept in. Just then, Brooklyn wagged her tail and said,‘Hey Monkey… maybe you’ll fly, maybe you won’t. But you’ll never know if you stay on the couch.’ She was right.""So I jumped. I didn’t soar… but I landed safe and proud. And the second try? I floated a little! And by the third? I was a couch-gliding pro. That day, I learned something big: I wasn’t failing—I was growing. And I almost missed that chance… because of self-doubt.""Your potential—what you can do—is huge. It’s only held back when you let fear shout louder than hope. So don’t listen to the voice that says'you can’t.' Listen to the voice that says,'try anyway.' I’m Monkey, and I believe your best days begin when you believe in YOU. Bye for now, brave friend!"
