Decidedly Awesome

never! not! putting myself out there!!! in work, running, and life. that is how we LEARN and GROW and it is UNCOMFORTABLE

You are you and that’s enough.

stop being so afraid of opportunities that could be great for you

Create.

just think about how grateful your future self will be if you keep going. how glad you will be for having worked so hard. it will all be worth it.

Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan.

you’ve gotta stat romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day. 

please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future. 

this is so true! i am so glad i didn’t waste my grad school years being sad about being long distance with dylan, or my undergrad years wishing i was done with school and working. find the everyday joy and relish it in every season because it’s all the same joy ♥️💫

wow this just changed my thoughts on a whole lotta things

Mood/status/reminder to self: focus on bettering yourself, do more/be more/say less, surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are also motivated to become and do better (plan, organize, prioritize and execute), and say bye to lazy, non-ambitious people
