Sleep well tonight knowing that God can multiply your two fish and five loaves, just like He did in the Gospel of Matthew 14:13–21. What looked small in the hands of a child became more than enough for thousands in the hands of Jesus. Nothing you place before God is ever too little for Him to use.
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
Except maybe the love of God, you’re not automatically deserving of much in life. Most things worth having have to be earned or worked toward in some way. Want a good career? Work for it. Want a good partner? Work on becoming a good partner yourself. Something has to give.
as long as you keep showing up, the results won’t have a choice. just keep showing up. day in, day out cause some of the biggest changes in your life will happen slowly before they happen all at once. even when it feels repetitive. even when it feels boring. even when you feel like you’re putting in effort and getting nothing back yet. keep showing up. keep doing the work. keep trusting that every small thing you do is adding up somewhere. life rewards the people who stay consistent long enough for the results to finally catch up.
Anyway, just want women around me to understand, you need to start aspiring towards financial independence with the exact same urgency society wants you to aspire towards marriage.
You need to be slowmaxxing. You need to be reading long, fat books. You need to be making 48-hour chocolate chip cookies. You need to spend hours watching wildlife, you need to spend 15+ min making your coffee. You need to breathe in and breathe out. You need to be slowwwwwwwwww.
