How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay

The only people who have absolute trust in themselves are toddlers, psychopaths, and people who haven’t been challenged by the real world yet.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Self-doubt makes us try harder because we convince ourselves that our work or worth is not enough. Imposter Syndrome whispers that your work and worth are never enough. Worse, it says that your work is your worth.

You too may struggle each day just to keep going when the world feels hard, but I want to recognize how powerful and important that is.

These steps are the work of life. And that work can be beautiful.

So perhaps the thing that’s keeping you from what you’re supposed to be doing is calling to you for a good reason. Don’t be afraid to take that unknown path if it beckons. Sometimes you must trust where you are called.

Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself.

But this perception that everyone else is zooming past me isn’t accurate. It’s just that I am living the slower live-stream documentary of my life while watching the sizzle reel of everyone else’s accomplishments.

Letting down your walls to share your human stories

Let us rise up and be thankful

there’s nothing wrong with being an amateur. The word itself comes from the Latin “amare,” which means “to love”…to do something just for the love of it.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” —Ray Bradbury
