Love this and huge well done on your perseverance. It’s so much easier to listen to and believe everything other people say than to believe in yourself; the latter takes real work and dedication. It’s also far too easy to put yourself down than raise yourself up.
I always try to view the things that burn me (such as negative circumstances or words of others) as flaming logs that I can put on the fire which burns inside of me, pushing me forward. I’m not sure if that makes sense to others, but it keeps me going 🐦🔥
Thank you so much for your kind words Amie! I completely understand what you mean about believing in yourself being a journey that requires real effort. Your approach of viewing setbacks as logs to add to your inner flame is both powerful and inspiring. It’s a great reminder that we can transform difficult situations into opportunities for growth. Keep that fire burning bright, and know that your resilience and positive outlook are truly admirable!
What a story! How amazing that you first, reinvented yourself after motherhood, but second, persevered during challenges and setbacks to achieve your dream. I never though about that aspect of the journey, how first you might do it to prove others wrong, but ultimately pursue your goals to prove yourself right. I've always been underestimated too, and could relate on so many levels to this essay. Beautiful!
Loved reading this 🤍 I can resonate so much with you said about being underestimated and I really admire how you’ve let it fuel you! Celebrating you and your achievements! 🥂🫶
