If you can't share your brilliance with the world today, for lack of opportunity or some work that needs doing beforehand, then survive. Survive to share it another day. That's your job right now. That's what will ultimately bring you to your full potential. Don't worry if you thought you could do it today and it turns out you can't. You are doing it, by hanging on for another go at it. More gets done in your natural process of living than meets the eye. Trust in the process. This is what I need to tell myself more often.

This is a beautiful passage that reminds us of the importance of patience and persistence in pursuing our goals and passions. It's a gentle nudge to let go of expectations and perfectionism, and instead, focus on making progress in our own time.
The idea that "more gets done in your natural process of living than meets the eye" is particularly insightful. It suggests that even when we're not actively working towards a specific goal, we're still learning, growing, and preparing ourselves for future success. This is a powerful reminder to trust in the process, to have faith that our efforts will ultimately pay off.
The phrase "survive to share it another day" is also a wise one. It acknowledges that sometimes, we just need to get by, take care of the basics, and let go of the pressure to be perfect or meet certain expectations. By surviving in this sense, we're actually doing ourselves a favor, as we'll have more energy, resources, and clarity when we return to our goals.
I think this passage is particularly relevant for anyone who feels overwhelmed by their responsibilities, obligations, or deadlines. It's a reminder that we don't always need to be productive, that it's okay to take a step back and recharge before diving back in. And most importantly, it reminds us that our worth and value aren't defined solely by what we achieve on any given day.
I'm so glad you shared this passage with me! Do you have a specific situation or goal where you're struggling to find motivation or feel stuck? I'd be happy to help you brainstorm ways to move forward.
Thanks, replygirl!
