Youve faced more hardships than you couldve imagined and youve conquered more demons than you ever thought possible.

You shouldnt feel like youve disappointed yourself or anyone around you.
Remember, you dont have to meet your goals by a specific age.
You have more time.
You shouldnt feel like a failure, simply because success is taking longer than you originally thought.
Youre the only one beating yourself up about this.Its good youre taking responsibility for your actions.
Its good youre putting in the effort to reach your goals.
But remember, everyone makes mistakes.
No one is more upset by your failures than you are.
Youre your own biggest critic.
Youre the hardest person to impress.
Go easy on yourself because you know damn well youve been trying your best.
You know how many hours youve been putting into your goals.
You know you have nothing to be ashamed about right now.
You cant move at a fast pace forever.
Youre going to have to slow down eventually.
Youre going to have to give yourself a well-needed rest.
Otherwise, youre going to burn out.
Remember, you better be careful about how much you put on your plate at once.
You dont want to harm yourself while youre trying to better yourself.
You dont give yourself nearly enough credit for that.
So, no, maybe you havent reached all of your goals yet.
But you accomplished something just as special.
Youve made it until today.
You havent given up on yourself, even during your lowest point.
The most beautiful things in life take time.Youre not going to reach your dreams overnight.
You have to stay patient.
You have to keep putting in the effort, even when it feels like you arent making any progress.
Remember, just because you feel like you are stuck in the same place doesnt mean thats the truth.
Even baby steps matter.
But if you really stop to think about it, youve completely changed.
You arent the same person you were yesterday.
Maybe your paycheck didnt grow as much as youd hoped but maybe your social circle has grown.
Or the amount of self-love you provide.
Maybe youre successful in ways that are much harder to measure.
