Somebody Is Watching How You Keep Going
Somebody is learning how to be a better person today. By watching you. No pressure, right? Just casually walking around as a living, breathing example while trying to remember where you put your keys and whether you switched the laundry over, or turned the coffee pot off. But itβs true. Someone is watching how you handle disappointment. How you speak to people who canβt do anything for you. How you keep showing up when life gets shitty and hard. How you apologize.How you grow.How you choose kindness when sarcasm would be a much easier delivery. You may not think youβre inspiring anyone. You may feel like youβre just doing your best with the emotional and intellectual bandwidth of a toaster some days. But your best matters. Your patience matters. Your resilience matters. Your honesty matters. Your effort to become a little softer, wiser, stronger, and less reactive matters. We donβt always teach people through grand speeches, soapboxes, or perfect examples. Sometimes we teach them by choosing not to quit.By taking responsibility.By setting boundaries.By healing out loud.By admitting weβre still learning too. So keep going. Be the kind of person younger you needed. Be the kind of person tired people feel safe around. Be the kind of person who reminds others that growth is possible, even if it occasionally comes with coffee stains, awkward moments, and a few dramatic sighs in the car. Somebody is learning from you today. Make the lesson a good one. Love you!
