My confidence isn’t rooted in strength alone,
nor in talent, nor in the endless hours of practice,
though all of those have shaped me.
 
No, it runs deeper.
It flows from knowing I am exactly
who I was created to be.
 
I walk in fierce faith.
I stand in grace.
I do not shrink back.
But neither do I strive.
 
There is power in my stillness.
Tenderness in my strength.
Elegance in my every step.
 
I have emerged from what was.
I move with focus toward what will be.
I walk in the boldness of purpose and 
the elegance of surrender.
