Progress is hard to spot from where you’re standing.
You might feel like everyone else is further ahead of you and youre struggling to keep up.
You might feel like theres something broken within you, like theres something wrong at your core.
Kinga Cichewicz
You arent a failure.
You arent a lost cause.
You arent a disappointment.
Here are a few gentle reminders that youre doing so much better than you believe:
1.
Its like when you see someone from your past for the first time in years.
Youre too close to notice your own growth but its there, even if you cant tell the difference.
But take a second to compare yourself to any other average person.
Youre probably doing fine in comparison.
Maybe youre even doingbetterthan fine.
When you accomplish something great, the glow is going to wear off quickly.
Youve simply been allowing the bad things to take up more space in your thoughts.
Youve been focusing on the worst and forgetting about the best.
You would be congratulating them.
You would be telling them what a great job theyve done.
So why cant you feel that same excitement for yourself?
Youre still here.You dont give yourself nearly enough credit for that.
Youve made it through your absolute worst moments.
You survived your biggest challenges.
Even if you dont feel like youre at your strongest right now, you still made it until today.
And you’re free to make it until tomorrow, too.
