The Day Where You’ll Look Back, and All You’ll Feel Is Gratitude

It’s closer than you think if you just believe in your inherent worthiness

One day, when you’re looking back at this time — on all your questioning, doubt and uncertainty, all you’ll feel is gratitude.

Gratitude for the version of you who recognised all that they had, and all that they still desired, and refused to settle.

The version of you who believed so courageously in their deep desires that they took the tentative steps in pursuit of more. The version of you who bravely stepped out of the safety that your old life offered and walked into the unknown with nothing but faith and an open heart.

And you’ll see it.

You’ll see just how rare and brave you were. You’ll see how you refused to settle, to be easy; to live easy. You’ll see how this discomfort led to magnetism, to purpos; to love. You’ll see how you tentatively carved the path that led you to where you are right now. In a place of abundance, of alignment; of peace.

And all you’ll feel is gratitude.

So while this time feels relenting, unclear and unjust, please retain the faith you hold in your dreams. Please don’t lose hope. They aren’t in achievable, or too big, or too undeserving, or too anything, other than too possible.

Please know that they’re so much closer than you realise.

Because if you’re dreaming of them, of desiring them, of cultivating the belief in your potential to achieve them — you’re already taking steps towards brining them to fruition. And while they may be blurry right now, perhaps nothing but a few scribbles, a slither of a vision, a thought as to what might be possible — they’re real. They’re possible. And please, use that trust you have and keep hoping, keep believing, keep dreaming that they’re possible.

When you give yourself permission to believe in yourself, they’ll present themselves in ways that exceed your desires. Please believe in your worthiness, and your magnetism.

Please believe in what’s possible, in what’s waiting for you, in what you deserve.

Because you’ll get there. To wherever, or whoever, you want to be — and you’ll look back one day, and feel gratitude for the version of you who cultivated so much belief in their vision that the itchiness could no longer be ignored.

That you did it.

That you’re here. And you’re happy, loving — whole.
