Calm knowing over loud confirmation
Today I release the belief that I must feel qualified before I move.
My spirit is clear —
but sometimes my fear is loud.
Fear sounds like stress.
Worry.
Doubt.
“Who do you think you are?”
But wisdom?
Wisdom is a knowing I cannot miss.
It is steady.
It is calm.
It does not argue.
When I feel the urge to explain myself, I choose silence.
Silence is not weakness.
Silence is confidence that does not need approval.
Today, everything may require discernment.
But discernment does not mean overthinking.
It means responding from peace instead of pressure.
I may not feel qualified —
but I am called.
And I am allowed to grow into what I was chosen for.
If I stop defending, proving, and rushing,
the wiser choice that emerges is simple:
I just be me.
The woman I am becoming.
Not the one trauma shaped.
Not the one fear doubts.
The one walking in light — even while still healing.
I do not need louder confirmation.
Calm knowing is enough.
Love and light to all… and so it is.
