This post is only for those who are going in circles, who don't have clarity, and who have tried and failed and wonder why they are trying again. This post is for the frustrated ones who haven't hit their home run just yet. Everyone else - you can continue on with your day.
If you're still reading, I want you to know that it's okay.
It's okay for you want what you want.
It's okay that you make your wants a priority.
Most likely someone has made you feel bad along the way for prioritizing a "want" over the "needs". They tried to peer pressure you into behaving like the good little girl/boy you were raised to be. They said you were being unreasonable, irrational, and my personal favorite - IRRESPONSIBLE.
The only reason you are stuck and don't have clarity is that you are attempting to answer your call while still being loyal to them. The only reason you're frustrated is you know deep down you're sacrificing your true life for their contentment. The only reason you keep failing and keep coming back is you know you were made for this and that to let it go would mean the death of the real you. You love them, but THEY WEREN'T CALLED TO THIS - YOU WERE!
It's okay to let all of that go.
It's okay to forgive yourself for sacrificing yourself on their behalf.
It's okay to forgive them for not understanding.
It's okay to go after the thing that makes you come alive.
It's okay to take big risks.
It's okay to allow yourself to enjoy the good that this process brings to you.
May you enjoy the rest of your day knowing that it's okay. 🫶🏽
