A tap within
I hear the speech of inspiration
The deep one-man conversation
Preparing the soul for the next steps to be taken
My confidence lies alone in my self-acceptance
What people think can`t play the number one role as I face me - the person I am & choose to be
Not saying I don`t care what influences me from outside
It`s knowing I'm not running after external things at the expense of the internal resources needed to become the person I seek to be
It`s knowing what I can handle when life throws unwanted things at me
Perhaps, enough stones with which I can build a bridge from where I seem to have fallen off
I believe one can be that lucky
I hear the word resourceful
My mind says focus - who are you before, during & after a challenge
Ask What, Why, How, When, Where
Wow! I hear my power version say
Clarity, insights, perspective to move on
My confidence comes from knowing I'm valuable & have the ability to strive on
Nothing can take that away
No matter the state an emotion might be directing me
The world is not against me
I`m simply me in the world
Stepping up into courage
Driven by what I believe in
Failure says try again with an insightful twist
Certainly not an end
Just a bend
