You can start over. You can decide not to go down like this. There’s no age limit on beginning again. You can make a sharp right turn toward something better for you. The next hour, the next day, the next decade, pick one.
Don’t let fear become a permanent guest in the house of your life. If you let it get too comfortable, it will refuse to leave. In the name of protection, anxiety closes the doors to the rooms of your soul, one by one.
Perfectionism is an enemy, not a friend. A liar dwelling in your mind promising to replace your insecurity with control. It leads you to believe you can mitigate the risk of being alive by gaining approval.
You can’t trust yourself when you allow the world to make your decisions. Without self-trust, you live in unending confusion. You have no control over who or what shifts your reality, your truth.
Letting go is not working on the problem. To work on something is to exert force. It’s to struggle, sweat, and bleed. Letting go is releasing, giving up, and walking away.
Hopelessness is self-reliance. You experience it when the emotional consequences of life are more than you can manage.
