Mistakes Make You
You don’t make mistakes. Mistakes make you. Mistakes make you smarter. They make you stronger, and they make you more self-reliant.
Mistakes Make You
You don’t make mistakes. Mistakes make you. Mistakes make you smarter. They make you stronger, and they make you more self-reliant.
You Are Not Your Hardships
Difficult times do not define you. They develop your strength, and they hone your resilience. Even in the worst of times, there is always a way forward, but first you must decide that you are more than your struggles. When you do, you will become wiser and more self-aware because of your experiences. Not in spite of them. You will also learn that you are so much more than any of your difficulties.
You are not invisible
You are heard, even if no one acknowledges what you said. You matter, even if you don’t speak the loudest. You are seen by others, even if you don’t realize it. You do matter, and you are not invisible.
You will Become Whole Once Again
Difficult times will come, but they will also pass. You will fall apart sometimes because you are human. When those times come, grieve, cry, and feel whatever you feel for as long as you need to. And whenever you’re ready, remind yourself that you will become whole once again. Because you will.
Get comfortable with the word no
Saying no leaves room for the right yes to come along
Anger Is Too Heavy A Burden
Anger is a heavy burden that will wear you down and keep you from seeing better days ahead. Holding on to anger is too difficult, and carrying it will not make you happier. Create change where you can, and correct whichever wrongs you are able to. But then, release the anger and instead choose contentment, peace of mind, and hope for the future.
The answers will come
You are not stuck; you are temporarily at a loss for answers. To be stuck is to feel hopeless rudderless. But you, my love, have hope, and you know that the answers will present themselves when the time is right. Be patient, and trust that the answers will come. They always do.
The power of Self-Talk
The most important conversations you will ever have are the ones you have internally. What you say to yourself becomes your truth.
Praise yourself often and share your successes with others. Speak about yourself with patience, forgiveness, and love. Humility and pride are not at odds with each other; you can be humble and still be proud of your accomplishments.
Be kind with your words to yourself, because they are incredibly powerful.
Everything is Temporary
Autumn transitions into winter. The young get older. Caterpillars change into butterflies. This is life. Everything shifts. And each experience is temporary.
Enjoy what is, individual and fleeting as it may be. Avoid clinging. Surrender gracefully when change comes, because it will. And when it does, know that you, too, will shift, but you will always be ok.
You Deserve It
You deserve to smile. You deserve to laugh. You deserve love. You deserve to experience happiness. You deserve all the goodness that the world has to offer.
