Hello dear one,
If you are telling yourself,
I have tried this before and failed,
Maybe more than once and I just don't have it in me anymore,
Then pause with me now,
Breathe,
And know how heavy it feels to carry that disappointment,
How past attempts can turn into proof against your success,
How discouraging it is to be here again at what feels like square one from where you began,
This time also carrying disappointment on top of fear.
But failing before doesn't mean that you can't succeed,
It means you have been brave enough to try,
It means you have been gathering information,
You have been learning,
Nothing in nature gets it right the first time,
The seeds doesn't stop growing because one season was harsh,
Rewards don't turn back because they met resistance,
They adjust,
They reshape,
They keep moving and you are not starting from nothing,
You are starting from experience now,
From wisdom on the hard way,
From knowing more than you did before,
This time doesn't have to look like last time,
You are not the same person that you were then,
You carry new awareness,
New strength,
Even if it doesn't feel like it yet.
So,
When the voice in your head says I have failed before,
I can't do this,
Try answering gently,
I didn't fail,
I learned and this time it would be different.
Thank you for listening,
I hope this reminder helps you move towards whatever you want in life without letting what happened in past hold you back.
Feel free to return to this reminder whenever you need it.
Till then,
Take care,
Bye-bye.
