Dr. Anthony Fauci to @FiveThirtyEight: "When you compare us to other countries, I don’t think you can say we’re doing great. I mean, we’re just not." https://t.co/mm90U4BLrz
You must tell yourself, even if you don't believe at first, "I am enough today. I am showing up, regardless of the pieces that aren't in the puzzle yet. I am worth it. I will not let a person define worth. This is between me and you, God. Let's do this thing."
Just your friendly afternoon reminder that you are worthy of good things. Thinking you don't deserve goodness, or that someone else doesn't deserve goodness, is an old pattern of thinking that needed to retire yesterday. Let's hang it up and let it go.
You deserve good things. We all do. You aren't damaged goods. You aren't a trainwreck. You aren’t a sob story or defined by your failures. You’re not the one who always gets left behind. You're not forgotten. You're not second-string. You're needed. It matters that you're here.
A prayer for you can steal: Help me to be here now. Not ten years in the past or future. Help me to look up and look around at the people in my life and the things you're asking me to do. Please root me in the here and now.
A prayer you can steal: God, teach me how to be here now. Not 10 years in the past or 5 years in the future. Help me to look up and look around at the people in my life & the things you're asking me to do. I want to live in the present moment. Please root me in the here and now.
I believe in you + I believe in what you’re bringing to the table this week. Remember: you’re qualified and pre-equipped for every little thing God has for you this week. Go into with confidence + a brave heart.
"You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right. If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out." -Steve Jobs #MotivationalQuotes
Life is cruel & it’s brutal & beautiful, all at one time. If you can pop the illusion that it was supposed to be butterflies and rainbows then you’ll be fine. If you can accept that life’s hardships are what turn us into resilient little fighters then you’ll be more than fine.
A prayer you can steal: Lord, I need to see the lies in black-and-white. Strip out their fake & concentrated colors and help me see the lies in black-and-white so I can start to uproot them. Where are the weeds in my life? Show me, show me, show me.
