~

not determination

nor confidence, nor bravado

but, true acceptance that

whatever I need to do

I will do ~ no matter what

no matter the difficulty of the task ahead

I will become the Paladin, the polymath, the kind and considerate man

the honest Hero may struggle, but will never surrender

for his Goddess is with him, always
