Hello and welcome to the Thoughts that Bind! And if you’re returning, welcome back! Thanks for checking back in with me. Today’s post is going to be short and sweet. I just wanted to affirm for you how awesome you are. And yes, this is an urgent matter. Perhaps the most urgent thing you could possibly give your attention to right now. Because sometimes, we forget.
You’re strong
You remember those days when you thought you couldn’t make it through, but you did? How amazing is that? And yet, you’ve done it multiple times in your life. You’ve persevered through things that others couldn’t even imagine and you’re here today to tell the tale, no matter how messy that tale may be. That is so impressive. Nobody else has to understand, you know. You know you’ve been through a lot, and that means that now, nobody can mess with you. Remember that when you’re feeling less than incredible.
You’re wise
And that possibly messy story we talked about before? Super! Because that means you’re so much wiser now. In all of your mistakes and torments, you’ve learned so much that young you just simply had no concept of. Through the years and the trials, you’ve come out the other end. You now have that common sense that’s not so common. You can give others advice based on experience, instead of theory. You can move forward in general certainty, knowing that you’ve seen this before and the right answer is B.
You’re alive
The longer you live, the more you’ve seen how fragile life can be, and what a miracle it truly is. And yet, every morning you’re still waking up. You’re here, you’re alive, you’re conscious. This is the biggest blessing and beauty of all, and yet we get to experience it every day. How wonderful of the universe to keep on giving us this gift, even if we don’t always know quite what to do with it. How special it is that we keep on breathing, and then we link up with others who are also miraculously still breathing, knowing how fragile it all is but making plans and keeping them anyways? You’re brave, wild and beautiful.
You’re gorgeous
This brain you have, this body you have, this heart that keeps beating with kindness, passion and love is the most beautiful thing that you could possibly possess. You give so much to the universe, just by being here. By sharing your smile, your efforts, your talents, your jokes. Your eyes sparkle with the aliveness of your soul that drives all of your actions. You care about others, you care about yourself, you care about the world around you. You have peculiarities that make you human, and that is beautiful. You are beautiful. The fact that you are here with all of us is beautiful. Thank you for existing.
You’re smart
And all of this, everything you’ve known and everything you’ve learned means you’re incredibly smart. You’re smart enough to build anew when it’s necessary. You’re smart enough to listen when spoken to and move forward in the path that best suits you and the new you that you want to become. It’s true, you haven’t been perfect in the past, but your future is yet to be seen. You’re incredibly intelligent, and guess what?
You’re gonna like who you become.
