Clyde Lee Dennis here, and today in our seven good minutes.

Extra segment, we're reflecting on this powerful truth.

True strength whispers, while weakness shouts,

for those who know their worth need not announce it to the world.

This wisdom cuts to the heart of what authentic confidence really looks like.

In a world that often mistakes volume for authority and aggression

for strength, we can lose sight of the profound power that exists in quiet self-assurance.

The person who truly knows their worth doesn't need to broadcast it constantly, because

their confidence comes from an internal source that doesn't require external validation.

Think about the people in your life who embody genuine strength.

Chances are they're not the ones who talk the most about their accomplishments or constantly seek attention.

Instead, they're the ones who listen more than they speak, who offer support, without expecting recognition, who

remain steady when others are reactive. Their strength is evident not in what they say about

themselves, but in how they show up consistently, day after day. The shouting that this quote

refers to isn't always literal volume. Sometimes it's the constant

need to justify our decisions, to defend our choices, or to prove our competence. It's the

exhausting performance of trying to convince others, and ourselves, that we're worthy of respect

and consideration. This kind of behavior often stems from an inner uncertainty,

a fear that if we don't constantly assert our value, others won't recognize it.

But when you truly know your worth, something beautiful happens, you stop needing to prove it.

You can let your actions speak for themselves. You can be comfortable with silence, with not having the last word, with allowing others to shine without feeling diminished. This isn't about being passive or lacking ambition. It's about operating from a place of inner security rather than inner need. The whisper of true strength is often more compelling than any shout.

When someone speaks from genuine confidence, people lean in to listen.
