I deeply know that if you existed in your own bubble and sense of reality, you would find such beauty in how you looked, celebrate the goodness of all that has happened in your life, and be in awe of your resilience and how you made it through some tough times that you thought you’d never make it through. and here’s something I also know; life can be hard. It is hard at times. Finding a glimmer of hope and light can take all of your strength. but when you find yourself in a season of life that is difficult, the last thing i want you to do is compare. for one, you are only privy to the information about their life that you see or have been told. and for two, you have your own unique journey and that alone needs to be your focus. So, when your thoughts swirl and negative beliefs about what you don’t have and what someone else has comes up for you, take a breath, center yourself, and decide to focus on you.
