I think all of us want to move forward after last year. But I always have to remind myself that a different year doesn’t mean things disappear. I’ve found one of the best ways to move forward is to accept all the things that are out of my control. Last year felt completely out of my control. But one thing I can control is myself and my ability to grow. The first step is acknowledgment.
My biggest flaw is how much power I give to others. I often ask myself, how can I move forward if I’m always dragging everyone’s opinions with me? The answer is, I can’t. We all have choices that we must make. Not making a decision is a choice. Listening too much to others is a choice. We all make mistakes, or maybe something happens that we can’t control. I vow going forward to be a better version of myself.
I want you to know that you carry the strength to move forward through the dense sand. That’s your power that lies within. Because no matter how tough things get, you always have yourself. Remember that whenever you doubt yourself or a decision. You always have your skills, knowledge, and experience with you, and one day we all have to trust that will be enough. I know that’s a lesson I’m still learning, and if you are too, then good, that means we’re all a little human.
