Yesterday I asked the question who are your favourite characters. I spoke of one of my favourite characters which is of course Mad Maisey Mayhem. Another of my favourites is Sir Ocho! He is self effacing, unlike many of the other knights he doesn't have great self belief but when called upon to save others he is able to tap into a well, deep inside of himself and find the the strength he needs to set aside his self doubts and be truly great. It is something we all need to strive to and achieve if we are to live up to our potential and fulfill our true purpose on this earth, just as Ocho did.
I think Sir Finn says it best and here I will let him speak in his own words;
“Ocho!” Finn’s stern voice chastised. “You do not believe in yourself. You will never achieve greatness if you do not believe in yourself. It is not to others you need to prove yourself. It is to yourself.”
“And it is not you Finn who must try to do the impossible,” Ocho said looking at Finn sulkily.
“No it is not I. But nor is it impossible as Talisan has proven,” Finn countered. “Your battle is with your mind, not me young wizard. Put your efforts there. Remember what it felt like to be flying with Talisan. Through the air above the treetops. Remember also why it is so very important for you to let go of your ego and just be. Many lives depend upon you and you would do well to focus on them and not your own frustration. “
