Cancer

One of the biggest lies depression tells us is that we need to have everything figured out before we take the first step.

We think we need a perfect plan.

We think we need certainty

We think we need to know exactly how we're going to get from where we are today to where we want to be.

But that's not how growth works.

Most people who accomplish incredible things didn't start because they knew exactly what they were doing.

They started because they were willing to take one small step despite not knowing.

One phone call.

One workout.

One application.

One conversation.

One day of not giving up.

You don't have to know how you're going to get through the next year.

You don't even have to know how you're going to get through the next month.

Sometimes all you need to do is take the next step.

The path often becomes visible after you start walking it.

What's something in your life you've been waiting to start?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

One of the hardest lessons I had to learn during my recovery was that not everyone deserves access to my peace.

For years, I gave other people the power to determine how I felt.

A rude comment could ruin my day.

Someone else's anger could become my anxiety.

Someone else's negativity could become my burden.

But eventually I realized something:

Protecting your peace isn't selfish.

It's necessary.

You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to.

You don't have to prove your worth to people who refuse to see it.

And you don't have to sacrifice your mental health trying to change people who don't want to change.

Your energy is limited.

Spend it on healing.

Spend it on growth.

Spend it on building a life you actually enjoy.

Protect your peace.

What’s something you’ve learned to protect your peace from?

Failure doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Usually it means we just need to change routes.
