Grace Waits. . .

If there’s one thing many of us are absolutely terrible at, it’s giving ourself grace. We can easily be our own worst critic in areas of our life and mindset.The biggest thing we can tryi to work on is giving ourself grace. When we realized that we don’t give ourself grace, wemiss out on being human.. So often, we let perfection dominate our lives without even realizing it. I’ve decided to change that in my own life, and I hope you’ll consider doing that, too. Grace begins with a simple awareness of who we are and who we’re becoming. Understand that no one is asking you to be perfect  – Yes, by all means, I hope you set goals for yourself. I hope you strive for excellence, but I hope you realize that no one is asking for you to be perfect. We’re all messy humans with strengths and weaknesses, but more importantly, we’re all humans with a story. Embrace yours, even when it isn’t perfect. Your journey isn’t finished just yet – Ahuge part of giving yourself grace is realizing that your story isn’t over yet. If you messed up today, you can try again tomorrow. If you succeeded today, you can try again tomorrow. I hope you take your time to feel what you need to feel, but I hope you also realize when it’s time to move on into the rest of your story. One of my favorite quotes is “You have to keep moving on, darling, or you’ll miss the train to bigger things than this.” Looking back, I wonder how many times I’ve missed the train to bigger things because I was too worried about a train that I missed in the past. Start in your doubt and in your fear and in your anticipation. Start in your worry or your excitement or your joy. Start wherever you are and keep going. Start with grace.
