Lately the world has been an uncertain place. And I think it's safe to say that many of us have had a lot on our minds. When I think back to a year ago and the season of life I was in, I realize how much of a difference one year makes! Tough seasons teach us to continue to push through and grow. They teach us to keep chasing our dreams and to follow our heart! We all go through difficult seasons and so I wanted to come on and share a few of my favourite quotes as a reminder to myself and to others of things we can all benefit from when we need a little motivation.
You've Survived
When you truly think about it, even on your worst days, you somehow managed to pull through and survive! Your toughest days are some of the most rewarding. You should hold great pride in knowing that you made it through every minute! It's important to take comfort in knowing that you have made it through the day.
A Fresh Start
It's important to remember that even after our toughest days we can start fresh every morning. This is one of my favourite reminders because it is so simple! I love that each day we can hit the reset button and begin with a whole new mindset.
Work it Girl
I have NEVER seen a dream come true without putting any time and effort in. If you want it, work for it! Dreams are one of life's greatest gifts. They allow us to envision and create a life we want to lead! They inspire us, humble us and help us become better versions of ourselves! The work we put in to achieve them is some of the most fulfilling work we ever do.
You've Got This
We've all been there. The moment after you've constructed the perfect (...or not so perfect) plan to achieve your dream. The moment when the self doubt all comes crashing in on you. IGNORE IT! Remember that this is YOUR dream, and because of that you already have what it takes to make it happen!
The Right Headspace
Sometimes it can be difficult. We get stuck in a rut and it's just easier to think negatively. In my opinion, one of our most incredible abilities as humans is the ability to switch up our mindset. I'm no athlete, but they say that in sports, every game is played with the mindset of being 10% skill and 90% mental. It can be difficult at times but once you begin owning your mindset and focusing in on what you truly desire you'll experience a game changer!
Remembering How Far You've Come
This is one of my favourite quotes of all time! When I set new goals or have a new dream I wish to pursue I sit back and think..."Would 9 year old me be proud of where I am at and how far I have come?" I often think back to times when I struggled, either as a child or as a teenager. By doing this I am able to realize how far I have truly come. When you accomplish your goals and your dreams it's important to sit back and look around. Soak in all of the hard work, late nights, time, and effort you punt in, even when you didn't think you had anymore. That was all YOU! And when you look back to the past at the younger you, know that they are smiling and filled with an overwhelming pride when they look at how far you have come!
Thanks for reading my thoughts! I hope that this brings you a little motivation to keep pushing through, even when life feels tough! If you can imagine yourself living the life you want, you can create the life you deserve!
