Inner-Self💡: Deep Thoughts

You're not where you want to be. And it's okay.

Everyone starts somewhere. This is where you are right now. It doesn't mean you'll be here forever. It doesn't mean you're stuck. It just means this is where you stand today. I know this journey feels so overwhelming. I know it feels impossibly long, difficult, and painful. And I know there are days when it feels easier to give up. But the truth is that most things worth having don't come easy. Change takes time. Getting to a better place takes time. You aren't a failure because it's taking you so long or because you're struggling just to start. You aren't weak or incapable. You're human. This work is hard. It's uncomfortable and mentally and physically taxing and terrifying and it makes sense that it would take you time. It makes sense that this is a struggle

You don't have to solve your whole life overnight. And you don't have to feel ashamed for being where you are. All you have to focus on is one small thing you can do today to get closer to where you want to be. Slowly and lightly, one step at a time. You can get there. Every effort you make adds up over time. And you're capable of doing that work. So breathe and trust that it's okay to be here today. Trust that something better is coming. Trust that you have what it takes to get there.

Daring to take up space by Daniell Koepke

I tried so many times to build a habit, to keep it, to be consistent, and time and time again I failed. Right now I’m in a constant loop of failing and trying and I feel stuck. I don’t know if I should give up or continue but one thing is for sure and it is a quote from Winston Churchill “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

Keep in mind that failure is not a fatal blow, but rather a constant reminder that we are heading in the wrong direction for success.

Life will eventually work out perfectly.

All the right things are going to happen. All the right people are going to come, and all the wrong people are going to leave.

You’re going to have a beautiful home that brings you peace, and you’re going to have a dynamic career that gives you purpose.

You’re going to wake up next to the love of your life and spill sweet words over morning coffee. You’re going to have slow Sundays and wholesome Holidays.

You’re art will be impactful and you will be recognize for your devotion. You’re going to travel the world and you’re going to encounter incredible people along the way.

You’re going to be seen for who you are and appreciated for all that you do.

Come Home To Yourself by Deja Rae

Strange, isn’t it? You know yourself better than anyone else yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn’t lived a second of your life. The world is filled with people who think they know you. Listen to no one else’s voice but your self.

If today was difficult for you.

I hope you know that tomorrow can be better. I hope you know that the moments that are uncomfortable or hurt or don’t make sense will pass. I hope you remind yourself of all the times you did. As you go through your days remember that every moment is just a moment. When you can't take it one day at a time, try to take it one breath at a time. Take really good care of yourself and know that it’s okay if you don’t accomplish everything you told yourself you needed to today. You don’t have to start a new routine or healthy habit today if it feels like too much. You don’t have to be as productive as the people that you see online. Your life is your life and only you have this life. Tomorrow it will feel a little bit better.
