All of these small things get overlooked in this dust storm of doubt.

of you're not doing enough, of it's not perfect so it's not good.

But when was it ever perfect?

Even in your moments where you felt like you had the most going on for yourself, you were still making mistakes.

Even on the things that you have worked so hard for in your life, regardless of that being an art project or that being a national championship or that being something as simple as a birthday card you made for a relative.

You made mistakes.

There were decisions you had to go through to find your way.

And the funny thing is, I've made this video probably five times now.

But it is one of those things that I have to keep reminding myself.

Because I do it over and over and over again.

I forget this lesson.

And this is something that is so, I guess, eye-opening in terms of the way I view the world now.

Patterns repeat.

Your bad habits will creep up on you.

And that is okay.

A lot of people talk about you're supposed to eradicate all the bad.

But I don't know if you quite do.

I think it's good to continue to fuel the person that you want to be versus the person that maybe right now you are by yourself.

doing things that push you out of your comfort zone by like showing up for yourself, being like, you know, your mom, when you would wake up in the middle of night and ask, Hey, I'm feeling sick and she'd bring you some tea, maybe make it take a Tylenol or something.

Being that kind of caregiver to yourself, that's struggling.
