Confidence

Confidence


Confidence is

the courage to leap, to search, to find, to think,

to be.

Confidence is

a certain heart, a strong individual mind.


Confidence is

shoving doubts to

the bottom of the soul and

turning weakness into strength.

A grain of sand to pearl.

A coal to diamond.

A caterpillar to butterfly.


Confidence is

believing in yourself and

the choices you make,

conquering fear.

knowing your true beauty.


Confidence is

ignoring others and

taking flight

up to the sun.

And never looking back.


Confidence is

the warrior within,

a cracked shield but a

clenched fist.

bold.

Confidence is

faith and belief.

not in others,

but in yourself.


~CK

Once you are confident in yourself you'll climb greater heights and achieve all your goals. It's important to be realistic, but who says dreaming is wrong? The confidence you build brings you closer to those dreams.
