inner power
Strength from within
Inner power is the personal strength, resilience, or determination that comes from within rather than from external circumstances.
It suggests a capacity to face challenges through self-possession and mental fortitude: She found her inner power and left the toxic relationship.
The phrase often appears in self-help and spiritual contexts, sometimes verging on cliché.
