✨Gratitude Junkies✨

Confidence

May be loud or quiet,
seen or invisible,
bold or humble.

Can be shaken,
shattered,
or reinforced.

Is built from success,
forged through failure,
lived in experience.

Helps lessen anxiety,
fuel a dream,
or embrace enough.

Revealed in yourself,
in those who surround you,
and in the ones you lift up.

Perhaps bravery is the very first dance step. And confidence is the imprint left behind each time we stretch our limits.

I'm grateful to be surrounded by a growing circle of Substack writers and friends whose presence I so appreciate. Each shares their confidence in beautiful ways that lift others up:
