How are you? I hope you’re doing well.
I’ve been thinking about what makes people big.
Some people seem so big – they’re loud, take up all the space. Sometimes I want to say, “Hold your horses, we don’t all need to hear all this.”
But I’ve realised you don’t have to be loud to be big.
The Power of Being Quietly Big
I’m not a loud person. I’m actually quite small and quite quiet. But I KNOW what’s right and what’s wrong. I know what I’ll tolerate and what I won’t tolerate anymore.
And that makes me quietly big.
I’m not tolerating being dismissed. I’m not tolerating being put down. I’m not tolerating being treated differently just because I’m a mum, a woman, and now a woman over 50.
I’m done with that.
What Quiet Confidence Really Means
You don’t have to be loud to be big. You can be quietly confident and calm in knowing what you want and what’s right according to YOUR values.
That can create waves. Maybe even storms.
But the calm water, the peace, comes again because you’re being true to yourself. Your peace comes because you’re being authentically you.
I’m not saying it’s easy. It’s actually hard, especially when it doesn’t suit the people around you.
But quiet confidence? That’s real power.
And if you know someone who acts BIG, perhaps they aren’t so big after all…
