❝ one thing i have learnt this year is to live and live in the moment. life is tough, life is overwhelming and life is a struggle. a struggle to hold on. a constant battle of choosing between what it is and what it should be. this year, you found yourself in situations you never could've possibly imagined yourself to be in. you looked for yourself in everywhere you went and everyone you met. you thrived, you survived, you tried - even if barely. for the year, days, life to come, live. live in the moment. stay. breathe. it gets better. ❞

❝ i do not know all the places you have been but i do know there is a place at the table for you. i do know there is room for your laughter, your stories, your thoughts about things, your unfinished sentences, your wildest of dreams. there is room for your presence. there is room for you to be here in this moment, for all of this matters, here at this table and every moment after ― morgan harper nichols. ❞

Success comes when you believe in yourself so don't let anyone destroy your inner  capabilities of winning ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️Work hard aim for the best 

❝ you are here for a reason. i know that sometimes it doesn't feel that way. i know that sometimes life can be a difficult thing to navigate. it can break you down and challenge you in ways you never thought it would but i also know that you have the potential to do incredible things in this world. you have the capacity to overcome whatever it is that is hurting you or confusing you or making you doubt yourself. i need you to believe in that. believe, with reckless abandon, that you are meant to be here. trust in yourself - even if you haven't figured out what inspires you deeply, even if you haven't discovered your purpose, even if you're moving forward in the simplest, smallest of ways. just keep going. wake up each morning and be gentle with yourself. do the work. feel whatever it is that you need to feel. tuck beautiful memories into your chest for safekeeping, revisit them whenever things get too tough. remind yourself of the art you want to create, of the things you wish to write, of the places you want to visit, of the people you have yet to meet. no matter what, just continue to remind yourself that you are going to make it. ❞

          A win is always a win when you know what it is to you, not what it is to other people.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
          
          Always believe that things are working out for you no matter what. Being patient and trusting the process means that you believe you'll receive the seed you've sowed. Don't let worry, fear, and anxiety make you dig up what you've planted just to see if it’s growing.
          
          ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
          You may be sad, disappointed, heartbroken or even scarred. But wake each day with a new sense of hope, a will to fight on and not give up.
          
          ❤️❤️❤️❤️
          You’re not behind. It’s not too late. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Everything is unfolding. Don’t judge yourself or be hard on yourself about how long something is taking to happen. Your time is coming. Just be thankful that you made it this far.
          ☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
          
          No matter how unworthy you feel about yourself, no matter how ugly the corners you have walked through, no matter how many times you see yourself falling, always bear in mind, the world is too vast for you to just dwell in one stopover; keep on braving.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
          
          Never stop working on yourself. Your truth is yours to see.✨
           
          
          Smart people don’t play the victim, they are busy finding solutions, they are busy making their lives better.

          Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
          Because for those who love with heart and soul
          There is no such thing as separation.✨
          
          
          “Let go of all the expectations, let go of all the timelines and let go of the notion that at a certain age, you have to be more accomplished than others or you need to have it all together.”✨
          
          — 
          
          Be willing to sacrifice the old ways of doing things so you can step into a greater you. Let the unhealthy habits & negative thoughts go. Change your mindset, attitude, & beliefs towards one of optimism. It’s in you right now to completely change your life.
          
          "You - yourself, not someone else - need to determine where you want to go and what you want to do in your life. And once you make that decision, you can begin mapping a plan to get there and focusing on that objective every single day."✨
          
          Keep telling yourself that things are going to work out even when you don’t know how. The positive attitude and optimism will start to change everything that’s happening in your life. Keep having hope and keep believing that things will get better.

No matter what people say. they don't have a part in how you should make urself.if you wanna be better then be better.if you wanna be a fighter then be a fighter.if you wanna be a  dreamer then be a dreamer.✨

:
          "I hope that you will still hold on until that very day comes when there will be sparks again that excite you as you wake up each passing day. That you will regain the good things you have lost, that you will relive the same passion that fades, that you will find reasons to keep going, and that you will renew yourself way better than the insecurities you have in yourself. Little by little, I hope that you will finally attain the healing that you need.
          
          One day, you will make it through. 
          
          
          “For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”✨
          
          
          
          You’re not behind. It’s not too late. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. Everything is unfolding. Don’t judge yourself or be hard on yourself about how long something is taking to happen. Your time is coming. Just be thankful that you made it this far.
          
          
          
          Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.
          
          No matter how unworthy you feel about yourself, no matter how ugly the corners you have walked through, no matter how many times you see yourself falling, always bear in mind, the world is too vast for you to just dwell in one stopover; keep on braving.
          
          Never stop working on yourself. Your truth is yours to see.✨
