Bettering ourselves is hard. You first have to notice what needs to be worked on, take the first step and then be kind to yourself while you work on it.
I’ve had a lot of denial in the past month of what I really struggle with. I’ve been apart of an Instagram challenge where I need to post everyday for a month. Its been a huge learning curve for me.
Before this challenge I didn’t realize how much I cared about others opinion of me. I have lost a lot of friends (followers wise) that made me pretty sad. By me being authentically me, those I love don’t care. Don’t care what I have to stay and don’t care to stick around. That’s pretty sad to me.
What I’ve realized this week is that it doesn’t matter what others think of me. As long as I’m following my passions, being kind and making a difference, their opinion doesn’t matter.
There comes a point in our lives where we realize that some people just don’t like us. Some people really don’t care what we have to say. But… there are so many out there who do.
I’ve grown immensly over the last month but especially over the last week. It’s hard to post every day. It’s hard to feel judged. It’s hard to push through when you feel like the people who know you don’t care. But the vision at the end and the passion pushing me through is so worth it.
I hope to empower women. Strengthen women. Push women to be their best self. Do my part to make the world a better, more loving place. A place I want my kids to grow up in.
I’ve improved on my social skills. I have met so many amazing women. Some that have gone through so much in life. I’ve improved on my love for people. When you go through the motions in life you start to catch yourself being more judgemental. It’s when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture you realize we are all going through this crazy life together. We all have struggles and triumphs in life.
I’ve improved on my love for myself. I realized this week how hard I am on myself. I really hold myself to a high standard. And when I feel like I fail, it goes right to the core. But I’m not perfect. I make mistakes, and I learn from them. I learn from everything life throws my way.
The most important thing I’ve learned this week is that life is tough, but so am I. We can all do whatever we want in life. We just have to take the first step. Take a jump and go where it takes you. We will never get there by saying “tomorrow”. Eventually you realize, today was “tomorrow” and you have a choice to make.
You got this. You can do amazing, amazing things. Amazing things that only you offer.
All my love,
