Don't Be So Hard On Yourself

I needed to read this today, so I’m hoping that by sharing it, it reaches whoever else needs to see it, too.

Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Don’t be so upset you haven’t done everything you’ve wanted to or visited everywhere you’ve expected to go.

So you haven’t achieved what you wanted to.

But we can all agree that life would be pretty damn boring if you’d done it all already. If you had no more room to grow or learn.
...
Be patient. Be understanding. You’ll eventually figure it all out and everything will make perfect sense. Every experience will get you one step closer to where you want to be. Every win. Every loss. Every success. Every single mistake. Don’t be afraid to fuck up.
...
Get lost. Go out with a purpose to lose yourself over and over again. Believe in yourself so damn that hard you can’t hear what anyone else is saying or care what they’re thinking about you.
...
And don’t stop - don’t ever stop - until you’ve made your own damn self proud. Don’t take no for an answer - you deserve to be this bold.
