You endured your weakest moments, your toughest tragedies, your most mountainous insecurities.
Working the same job.
Living the same unsatisfying life.

Ilyuza Mingazova
But even if you spent most of 2019 miserable, you shouldnt be down on yourself about it.
You shouldnt feel like a failure.
You succeeded when it comes to the most important thing.

Maybe youre shaking your head.
Maybe youre rolling your eyes.
Maybe you feel like thats a bullshit accomplishment.
Or maybe you stayed in bed for longer than you should have.
Maybe you let your sadness win for a little while.
Maybe you locked yourself away for hours.
Either way, you made it through the day.
You did whatever it took to survive.
You pulled yourself through the darkness.
You made it here and maybeheredoesnt feel like a great place to be right now.
Maybe youre sad, lonely, insecure, exhausted.
But it doesnt have to be that way.
This next year could be the happiest year of your life.
Of course, for make 2019 great, you have to put in effort.
You have to trust yourself.
You have to work on your goals.
You have to take risks.
You have to leave your comfort zone.
If you were able to do that, it’s possible for you to do anything.
Stop selling yourself short.
Stop doubting your potential.
Stop expecting tomorrow to be miserable simply because yesterday was miserable.
Allow yourself to act like an optimist for a change.
You made it until today.
You endured your weakest moments, your toughest tragedies, your most mountainous insecurities.
You survived another 365 days.
And you should be proud of yourself for how much strength that took.
