Finding Proof

Do you have a list of all the difficult things you’ve ever accomplished?

If you don’t, my ask to you is simple: write one.

Take time to sit and remember what you’ve made it through over the course of your life.

Be gentle with yourself and approach this exercise from a lens of documenting, not judging.

Think back to the moments or circumstances you didn’t think you’d make it through and yet, here you are.

If you’re finding it hard to begin, try thinking in five-year periods. From ages 1–5, what did you accomplish? What did you learn? Then continue from there.

Work until your list feels complete, and keep it somewhere visible to you. Let it serve as your reminder, a record of everything you’ve already achieved and overcome.

Let this list remind you that you don’t walk alone through your life. You are walking alongside all the other versions of yourself who once faced what felt impossible—and made it through.
