Words to inspire the belief that we have all we need to be the change we wish to see.

Broken

Sometimes we think we are broken.  We are sharp with our tongue, unlovable, unsuccessful, selfish and all the other words that may float around in the story in our heads.

The thing is, we are not broken.  We are human.  Carrying problems that are heavy.  Trying to juggle all the things.  It’s hard.  And that makes us hard on ourselves.

As Glennon Doyle writes in her book Untamed, “If you are uncomfortable — in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused — you don’t have a problem, you have a life.  Being human is not hard because you are doing it wrong, it’s hard because you are doing it right.  You will never change the fact that being human is hard, so you must change your idea that it was ever supposed to be easy.”

It was never supposed to be easy.  We are not broken or imperfect or a failure.  We are beautiful souls becoming more of ourselves every single day.  Do the hard things.  But do not be hard on yourself.  You are doing the best you can, and it is more than enough.
