Hey You,
You are doing great, don’t give up!
I know it can be difficult sometimes and you want to take a break.
Just so you know,
It’s okay to take breaks
It’s okay to cry
It’s okay to feel scared or afraid
It’s okay to be tired
It’s okay to be confused
It’s okay to have mixed emotions
It’s okay to be hungry for more
It’s okay to want to push further
It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them
It’s okay to keep trying
But here’s what’s not okay:
It’s not okay to give up
It’s not okay to not appreciate how far you’ve come, even if the steps are little.
It’s not okay to drown in regrets
It’s not okay to think you can control everything
It’s not okay to stay stuck and not move forward
It’s not okay to not forgive yourself
It’s not okay to think you are not good enough
It’s not okay to quit
You are a fighter and you have been doing great since the start, so I applaud you
Take a moment to look back and see how far you’ve come

Let’s not turn off the light ourselves
Keep shining!
Everyday might not be great, but tomorrow is always a chance to make it better.
So let’s keep pushing
P.S.
I struggled to write this article today. I had a topic in mind, noted with outlines, but I went blank. I kept trying and trying. But nothing worked.
As I forced myself to think of ideas, I came up with new topics, but no draft. I got tired and put my pen and laptop aside.
I tried working on the new ideas, but still, nothing came. That got me more annoyed. I had a deadline today, and I was determined to finish this article, but it just wasn’t happening.
Then I realized something: when I started writing pieces of me. It was a way to offload my thoughts and fears, to relieve my mind of the burden of carrying everything alone. I wanted to offer hope to anyone like me who needed motivation and kind words to keep going.
But today, I wasn’t writing from that place. I was writing with the pressure of making the article perfect, hoping to attract more readers. I lost sight of why I started in the first place.
With this insight, I hope we don’t lose focus on why we started our goals and plans. Anytime we feel off, we should remember our ‘why’ and everything will fall into place
So hey, please keep pushing further. Let’s keep our vision clear and let that be our driving force.
Imagine me as your cheerleader screaming and shouting “Go you!!!!! You can do this!!!! You are awesome!!!!”
If you can’t find another source of motivation, I hope visualizing me as your cheerleader helps you.
Let’s keep going!
We got this!!!
