That Is Where The Strength Is..

A real good friend of mine Sarah Markley is an esteemed blogger with a story of her own that will literally blow your socks off, challenged us fellow bloggers, friends and girlfriends to tackle WE are Full of BEAUTY as a writing project…

Here’s my entry…

 When self-assurance comes upon you, you find that you are already in a place of strength. For in that place, you are centered and connected to yourself as you have never been before. In that center is the calm. Like the calm that is present in the eye of the storm. That is where the strength is.

 In that composure, in that place of poise. It is a powerful place to be for there you find yourself unruffled and standing upright with the strength like that of a mighty Redwood. You are there within yourself like a pillar of strong granite. Steady and strong.

Poise is a worth that few people have, but an attribute that is indispensable to the growth and evolving of the human being. For how can you grow to be stronger within yourself if you have not discovered or know what the place of quiet strength and power feels like?

 For it is here that you come to identify the real beauty of your strength; the real key to your strength and power.

Poise is an element desired by many though it is called by many other names.

Go within yourself and find that quiet spot of strength. It may be very small, but it is there. Everyone has it because you could not survive without it.

Find it, nourish it, cause it to expand and become the greater part of you. Let it take over your life so that you may know the real feeling of strength in Poise. Let it be who you are.

That perfect expression of God and the power that is inherent in that expression.

 Let yourself be known for it

. Let yourself feel and know the power within you.

  1. so true, heidi.

    it really is what is on the inside. i even asked my 8yr old today if she thought she was beautiful. she said, yes and i asked her why. she said because God had made her beautiful.

    if only she’ll keep believing that…

  2. You have expressed this inner beauty and poise so eloquently and reminds me of Proverbs 31. Thank you :)

  3. I came over from Sarah’s blog…if you’re interested, my post is http://onegirl-itjusttakesone.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-beauty.html

    I never really thought about poise…guess it’s time I put some thought into what it really means. :)

  4. I love how you said, “Go within yourself and find that quiet spot of strength.” That is beautiful!

  6. I love this part of your beauty post, “Go within yourself and find that quiet spot of strength. It may be very small, but it is there. Everyone has it because you could not survive without it.”
