True Confidence is:

Soft not hard

Quiet not loud

Calm not aggressive

Strong not bold

Confidence wanes and flows, it shows up and knows its space,

other times it eludes us and there seems to be no trace

Confidence sometimes needs a pep talk and a friend

To encourage, support, and build it up again

Confidence lights you up from the inside out

It is subtle and gentle and often draws a crowd

Confidence is a knowing, a belonging of your soul

You just know you’ve got this, and you let it show

You know your worth and you belong

You trust, like, and love yourself, and that is never wrong

Confidence, like life, is a daily awakening

Reinforcing itself with each opportunity and a new beginning

With it, you get up and show up and try every time

Winsome, lose some, both are just fine

Each loss is a lesson

Each win is a gain

Sometimes we have plenty

Sometimes we need more

It is here we support you

We’ll hold open the door
