don't forget how truly blessed you are.

​

just because you are not where you want to be does not mean you are not blessed. just because life is tough does not mean you are not blessed.

​

don't correlate challenge, adversity, difficulty, and setback with not being blessed.

because a lot of times, that's what the blessing is, and you just can't see it right now:

​

that pain, 
that struggle, 
that adversity, 
that heartbreak,
that was actually the blessing.

​

a lot of times, blessings feel like burdens in the moment.

​

but stick it through, stick it out, keep on taking steps, keep on stacking days, keep going -- hang in there.

​

nothing is permanent. you will overcome whatever you are facing, and you will come out the other end stronger, more resilient, more developed, and more of who you are meant to be.
