Hey you. Yes, you, the one who is reading this. You don’t give yourself enough credit. Yeah, sure you sometimes get it wrong. But have you stopped to see all the times you get it right? You, just like everyone else, are trying to get it right enough to make it through the day. You try to treat others the way you want to be treated. You are good to the people you love. You are always trying to be everything that everyone needs you to be. Sometimes you just can’t be it. And that’s ok. But there are times you are. And even when that happens, you don’t give yourself enough credit. I know the pain of wanting to be more, the desire to give more effort than is feasible. I know how easy it is to wear yourself out, to give more and more and never ask for anything in return. You are not invincible. You can’t be it all and do it all. Don’t look down on yourself simply because you are human. Because what you aren’t noticing is how much you have given those near and dear to you. And you, yes you, don’t give yourself the credit you deserve. You don’t always have to be more. It’s ok to try your hardest but stop there. It’s ok to give up on lost causes. It is ok to just be enough, because you don’t give yourself enough credit. So stop and breathe. Look around you. See what you are doing right. Cherish that. Cherish the ones that love you. Give what you can. Be kind. And give yourself the credit you deserve.
