You Can Do This.....

You can do this. One day at a time. You get up, you get out of bed, you walk to the next room. You do what you have to do. You brush your teeth. You look in the mirror. You tell yourself what you need to get by.

You are not alone. So many of us are struggling with things that threaten to take us down. Promises to tear us apart. Hangs over our heads with a thick sense of dread. It's okay, you got this.


I don't know what you are going through. I don't know your demons. I haven't the faintest idea what issues are bearing down in your direction but I do know that nothing is impossible. There is light at the end of the tunnel even when we can't see it.

Anyone is capable of doing anything. We just have to keep trying. You have to keep going.

I know this because that is what I am doing and I am not anymore special or knowledgeable than anyone else. If I can do it, you can too. And it's hard and sometimes it feels like you can't breathe, but you do.

You breathe in again and keep going. Your lungs continue to work. Your heart continues to pump. Your legs continue to keep walking.

Right now it may seem like nothing will ever change, that life will always be this hard. But if there is anything we know about life, it is how it changes. Nothing ever remains the same. I don't know that time heals all wounds but I do know that time changes all of the horizons.

So hang in there. Be brave as you have always been. Believe in yourself. And if right now, you can't believe then just simply pretend to. Because in that pretending it becomes a habit to hold yourself up. To know your worth. To refuse to accept that you are whatever your mind wants to claim you are. Hang in there. You got this. You can do this. One day at a time. You can and you will just as you always have....

I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday season. I hope you all know how important you are in this world. That you know what magnificent beings you are. Be safe and be kind.
