Turn Your Wounds Into Strength
We may not be where we want to be in life but it’s going to be okay. We all have different starting points but in the end we are meant to be where we are (even if we don’t agree!). This is just a temporary place in your journey, it doesn’t mean this is you forever.
Sometimes we get the feeling of giving up and that the struggle just isn’t worth it. One thing to remember is that the things we long for will not come easy for us. You are not a failure because it is taking you longer to get there. Stop comparing your pace to others, your journey is your own.
Remember, you are human. You don’t have to figure out your entire life overnight. Every effort you out forward is a step to where you want to be. So take it slow, don’t rush this process. Trust in yourself and in the universe, that something amazing is coming. Most importantly, trust that *you* have what it takes to get to your finish line.
It’s always the little things we tend to ignore. The little things that we throw to the wayside that mean the most. For me, it’s slipping into the comfiest sweater and sweats on a cold day or that first sip coffee with the amazing smell. Lately, it’s sitting in the backyard and reading while the birds sing the most beautiful song.
These are the little things that will get you through those tough days. These are the little joys that can bring that ray of light back into your life. There is always something to be thankful for, you just have to look for the little things.
Even if your mind is full of thoughts and emotions, you still have the opportunity to experience peace. Stop stressing out because you don’t have every faction of your life planned out. Stop stressing out that life is not going the way you had planned. If you were to think of where you were a year ago or even 3 years ago, you never imagined that you would be where you are today. In the middle of figuring out the struggles or hardships, find the time to settle down and feel peace. Feel peace within yourself and in the environment around you. You will always be more than your fears, now you just have to believe it.
Always be confident in yourself. Know tour worth and what you bring into the world. Do not compare yourself to others, you alone are unique. Do not let the cruel world plague the purest portions of your soul. Let the world see the goodness of your heart, do not be afraid to be yourself!
