- Confidence -

                - Know your value. Confidence breeds success. Act like
                      the person you want to become, and people will 
                 start seeing you as that person. -  Quote: Mark M. Ford


                              Don't fear your inner confidence
                            Navigate through each fleeting day
                           with determination and perseverance

                                        Create the ability
                             notice how the confidence unfolds
                         Mental stimulation, prioritizing self-care

                                    A fortress built of straw
                                provides no impetus for action
                            everything will be gone with the wind

                When you are ready and have built unshakable confidence
                            Your perspective may be changed but,
                        the essence of who we are remains the same

                       Familiarize yourself with the low ant paths
                                Hold your feet on the ground
                            Achievements, decisions and goals

                         Confidence lifts the soul to soar upright
                         embrace your success in the face of life
                                 dare to show care and love

                           One day you might be strong enough
                             unfold your all-encompassing wings
                                an objective which can be caught

Duke Beaufort May 27, 2024 at 5:39 PM Anne-Lise, this is quite a story. The end suggests that we can with success help a lot of people. You suggest, which I agree with, that confidence comes from hard work and determination. That seems right on target.

Joseph P. DiMino April 19, 2024 at 8:08 PM "When you are ready and have built unshakable confidence Your perspective may be changed but, the essence of who we are remains the same" -- some people think that giving yourself up to a higher power means losing one's individuality...that its wrong.
