It’s easy to focus on what’s missing.
On what hasn’t worked out yet.
On how far you still feel from your goals.
But pause for a moment.
Look at what you’ve already survived.
Look at how much you’ve learned.
Look at the fact that you’re still trying.
That matters.
You’ve grown in ways you don’t always notice.
You’ve become more aware.
More patient.
More resilient.
Not every improvement is loud or obvious.
Some of the most important changes happen quietly inside you.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to be perfect to be progressing.
Give yourself some credit.
You’re handling more than you used to.
And even on hard days,
you are still moving forward.
