Even Ninjas Know…
Did you know…?
Ninjas may seem mysterious, but the origin of their name is not. The word ninja derives from the Japanese characters nin and ja. Nin initially meant "persevere" (and) … in Japanese, ja is the combining form of sha, meaning "person." (Thanks Merriam Webster!)
In the spirit of Halloween, I thought you all might enjoy this picture that one of our Peer Projects - Therapy From the Heart families shared with us!
Notice what’s behind him! I felt validated seeing that even ninjas know declarative language, and silence of course, are important.
As we all channel our inner ninjas, perseverance means we stick with it, one thoughtful move at a time. So, whenever you feel things are hard, remember that you only need to take it one exchange at a time, and visualize this little ninja cheering you on!
You can download this visual for your own fridge too!
Happy Halloween!
