Three simple words, yet so meaningful. Woke up this morning and like clockwork was hit with disappointing news. My heart sank and I immediately was brought to tears. The initial reaction was “WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?”, and “NOT AGAIN!”. For those of you that know me and those that are new to the blog, I struggle with the perception of perfection. The thought of rejection or not being good enough is something I have struggled with for years. For this very reason, I push myself harder than anyone else ever could and I am also tougher on myself than anyone else. I do not leave any room for error, or so that is what I try my best to do on daily basis. Want to talk about a very exhausting struggle? This is it. Not one I recommend for anyone. There is no such thing as perfection and who would want to be perfect anyway? What kind of life would that be? No fun at all. I can testify!
After crying for what seemed like an eternity, trying to make sense of a senseless situation (that in reality I did not create), I thought I would scroll through my social media. Maybe something would take my mind off the situation. I should have known that clarity was right around the corner. The second I opened my phone the song by Brent Morgan, “Gonna Be Okay” started playing on my phone. I couldn’t help but look up and smile. If you have never heard this song, let me start by saying, it’s worth the listen!
Life is hard enough without us being hard on ourselves. It is time we believe in ourselves again and we stop letting people define the way we feel about ourselves. You define you. Read that again. Don’t give up on you. Life is not about perfection. Life is about living in the moment, each moment and making that moment yours. You only get that moment once, so why would you not want to make it the best it can possibly be? Do not live it for someone else, it’s not someone else’s dream, someone else’s life, someone else’s moment.
In case no one has ever told you, it’s gonna be okay. Believe it. Will It. Affirm It. Live It. This is my wish for you today, my hope for you today and everyday going forward. I would love to hear your affirmations and as always, much love to you all! XoXo – SheShe
