“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete”
— Buddha
accept your own progress
on your own path
(you are as far
along your path
as you could be)
and seek understanding
when you miss your own mark
no self-judgment
no self-punishment
no self-shaming
no self-recrimination
no self-condemnation
“Focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t. Small steps turn into miles.”
— Unknown (via thoughtkick)
focus
amplifies
zooms in on
makes larger
makes more
be careful
in your choice of focus
“Move on. It’s a chapter in your life. Don’t close the book, just turn the page for a new chapter.”
— Brooklyn Copeland
the past
is easily
a trap
learn from it
don’t live in it
don’t live out of it
don’t let it define you
don’t let it convince you
its determined your destiny
“You’re not going to master the rest of your life in one day. Just relax. Master the day. Then just keep doing that every day.”
don’t lose entire days
when you get derailed
master the moment
master picking yourself
back up, quickly, gently,
kindly, compassionately
when you stumble, struggle, or fall
always
you couldn’t be anywhere else
if you could be, you would be
if you could have been
you would have been
Don’t wait until you’ve reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal.
