The Building of Confidence – Eric’s Story »

Free in the Story

January 16, 2012 by Jeff Brunson

Inside you begin as the seed of trust sprouts,
determined in the spirit with each step.

The gift of intuitive instinct guides focus,
each path individually unique.

You move along a purposeful path,
blessings of experience strengthen resolve.

Resonate voice scripts the scenes of life,
a courageous yes to what is true.

Enlightened in trust you have learned,
love flows through a serving purpose.

−J. Brunson

I really like the phrase:
You move along a purposeful path,
blessings of experience strengthen resolve.

Our movement is purposeful, our experiences are blessings and they work to strengthen our resolve and allow us to keep moving forward. Great poem, Jeff!

  So right Linda. And the older I get, well the easier some things are and the more difficult others.

  Uniqueness is indeed a gift. For some, they think something is wrong with them. I suppose we all to some degree will always continue to struggle with comparing self to another. But there is absolutely no value in such is there?

As always Jeff you’re words touch like the words of a true servant leader, able to uplift, inspire and empower others.
“Resonate voice scripts the scenes of life,
a courageous yes to what is true.”
This is gold
