No one is coming to save you...
We have this hope that someday, someone will show up, someone who will understand us perfectly, fix what’s broken, motivate us when we’ve lost our fire, and carry us through every hard thing like they were born to rescue us. I realize life doesn’t work like that though. The most powerful transformation doesn’t come when someone enters our life, it comes when we finally show up in our own life.
It's hard to get up when we feel like giving up; it's hard to be our own source of motivation when everything around us feels heavy but every time we choose to try again, each time we show up in ourselves and for ourselves even in small ways I believe we become stronger and we become braver. And then before we even know it we become the hero that we've always needed.
Even though it won't be easy it is worth it all in the end because one day we will look back and realize that no one had to pull us out of the darkness because it turned out we were the one who lit the match.
