GROW - ASSURANCE

Confidence is less about how we appear in the world to others and more of an inward posture, a deeply rooted, inner-knowing that we are inherently worth loving whether others see it or not.

Confidence is an assurance that shows up on the inside of you when you are waiting for beautiful things to find you and you realize that it is worth it to keep living. It is worth it to finally start that thing you have been putting off for way too long. Confidence is realizing that the fear of failing might not leave you today, but you can keep going anyway. The fear of greatness, the fear of things actually working out, might be there, too, but you refuse to keep putting off the things that have been stirring inside of you.

The world is changing. Uncertainty abounds. And yet, you still need to exhale. You can only hold it in for so long. You can only say “no” to yourself for so long. Your fears may not leave you today, but I hope you can continue to be a little less afraid. Seeking clarity where you need to seek clarity, and letting go where you need to let go.
​
May your confidence never come from how others do or don’t respond to you. Allow yourself to have gratitude for your meaningful relationships while knowing relationships alone do not determine your worth. Go deeper. Go beyond the surface. Trust that you are worth it whether others see it or not. 

Assurance: “a positive declaration intended to give confidence; a promise.”
