Last year on a summer night walking through Providence, a stranger handed me a piece of paper that listed these reasons.
I'm not sure who this stranger was or where this paper came from before them but the messages were really helpful and upon recently rediscovering this paper I thought I would share :)
1. YOU INSPIRE SOMEBODY
Maybe you might not see it but there is someone learning something, evolving and mirroring themselves in you, waiting to get advice from you.
2. PEOPLE LOVE YOU
There are people that want you in their life. They think about you often, your hugs, your smile, everything that pertains to you, disregarding all of your imperfections.
3. YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOW
It might seem cliche, but it's true! You fought against everything and everyone, before you were even born, to reach where you are now is not luck, it's the result of a strong person that has overcome many obstacles.
4. EVERY END HAS A NEW START
We are never prepared for things to end because it is painful and it can leave marks. But it is through these things where we most see growth, in things such as patience, experience, and resilience for the rest of your life.
5. STORMS WONT LAST FOREVER
Everything in life comes to an end, keep your hope alive, don't give up. Just keep swimming. The sun will shine soon enough!
6. THERE IS ALWAYS A BLANK PAGE
You are capable of change, change things, change the page, change the way you write your story. After all it is YOUR story. Your results will be different when you decide to change.
7. YOU CAN GET EVERYTHING WITH DETERMINATION
You can reach your goals by following your passions and allowing that inner fire to burn away any mistakes or problems that occur on your journey to achieving your dreams.
Stay focused on the goal.
8. YOU ARE CAPABLE OF DOING GREAT THINGS
Invest in self love and in self confidence because both of these are two important elements for you to reach many places in life!
9. IF YOU CANT GET IT TODAY, TRY AGAIN TOMORROW
"I trained 4 years to run 9 seconds and there are people who train 2 months and give up" -Usain bolt. Don't give up, hang on just a little more. You will get there!
10. THERE ARE MANY THINGS YOU HAVEN'T DONE YET
Why don't you grab your car, bike, bus or even your 2 feet and just go? Stop overthinking your problems, turn off your phone and do something that allows you to live. Find new paths, hobbies, people and re-new yourself.
11. LOVE MAY BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
Your mind has been to busy with worries and anxieties that you can't even see right. Maybe the things you wanted so bad is right in front of your eyes and you cant even see it.
12. YOU ARE CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMATION
When you believe in yourself you are able to change your situation and confront everything you see. You must see that you are capable and nothing on this earth is impossible.
13. YOU ARE IRREPLACEABLE
There has never been nor will there ever be someone like you! You are irreplaceable.
