Today I feel weak. I look tired. My heart feels exhausted.
For a brief moment I feel discouraged and as if I am wearing thin.
I take a deep breath.
Looked in the mirror and saw my tired eyes looking back at me. To realize that though I am tired, I am building.
Growth takes effort. Growth is exhausting at times.
I am not grinding for the purpose of running aimlessly towards nothing.
But I am sculpting myself for my future.
I am not wearing thin but growing stronger than ever before.
I would rather see my tired eyes looking back at me, full of life and experience, than look in the mirror at well rested face, yet have experienced nothing.
Today is a part of the journey.
Today is exactly what it’s supposed to be.
I am grateful for today.
I am grateful for my strength.
