Wise confidence
It happens to the best of us.
We misstep
Miscalculate
Misjudge
Miss angles
Or just plain mess up.
When we do
There’s a temptation
To berate and admonish ourselves.
To shrink and lose confidence.
Resist it.
You made the calls you made.
You had your reasons.
It’s over.
Relax.
Reflect.
Reset.
Reconnect
To who you are.
Remember
Why you’re here.
(It isn’t to cower.)
Then re-engage.
Wise confidence
Quiet confidence
Lasting confidence
Doesn’t come easy.
It’s forged in the heat of defeat.
