For much of my life, I tried to quiet the fire inside me. I thought being “too much” made me unlovable, so I dimmed my light to fit into spaces that weren’t meant for me. I softened my voice, silenced my dreams, and tried to be who others thought I should be. But deep inside, the dragon in me—the fierce, fiery side—was waiting to rise.
The Power of the Dragon
A dragon isn’t timid. It isn’t apologetic for its strength. A dragon breathes fire not to destroy, but to protect, to guard, and to illuminate the darkness. That’s the same fire I’ve learned to embrace within myself. My fierce side isn’t about anger or control—it’s about passion, boldness, and an unshakable spirit that refuses to be caged.
Letting Go of Fear
For years, I was afraid of my own power. Afraid that if I showed who I really was, I would be judged or rejected. But the truth is, hiding your light only hurts you. Once I began embracing my fierce side, I realized my passion was not something to fear—it was something to celebrate.
Fierce Doesn’t Mean Hard
Embracing the dragon within doesn’t mean becoming cold or unapproachable. It means standing tall in your truth, even when others don’t understand. It means refusing to shrink back when you’re called to step forward. It means letting your fire fuel your purpose, while still leading with love, grace, and compassion.
My Fierce Side Today
Now, I let my dragon side shine through my words, my work, and my walk with God. I use it to defend my peace, protect my joy, and push forward toward my calling. I’ve learned that the fiercest thing you can do is to live authentically, without apology.
And if you’ve been hiding your fire, I want you to know this: you are stronger than you think, braver than you feel, and more powerful than you believe.
Don’t be afraid to embrace your dragon within—because your fire is exactly what the world needs.
With love and light,
