You can choose to stay in the darkness, with the self sabotaging habits or be so desperate for change that it propels you into being proactive and taking the steps needed to make that change. A sustainable change. The desire to change must be greater than the desire to stay the same. You have to do it for yourself, nobody else. Excuses are just that, an excuse.
When you allow yourself to emerge from the shadows, everything will look that much brighter. The only one stopping you is you.
If you need help ask for it, reach out, there will be a hand available when you seek it. But you are in charge of taking the first step. Know that you have this power. Suffering is part of life but it’s up to us to choose to stay there or to grow from it, move through it. Allow the pain to fuel your passion. Empower yourself.
Love yourself enough to move through what is holding you back, be sure to get out of your own way. 💚
