who you are now is a culmination of your past choices.
who you will become is depending on the choices you make right now.
who are you, fam?
though you’re still learning, you’ve got some really useful information to pull from: your lived experiences.
by now you have an inkling of what works for you + what you’d rather avoid in the future.
you’re familiar with the concept that all things are working for your good, yea?
whether you believe it or not, whatever happens in life is happening for you + not to you.
today, take that sentiment with you + choose to take full responsibility for your choices, past + present.
you are who you are today because of who you were yesterday.
thank that version of you for showing up like they did, for getting you through some of your toughest times, + for holding you down with some viable choices.
you may not like everything you’ve done in the past + that’s okay, fam.
fortunately, this can be the beginning of a new era for you.
today, you have the opportunity change the way you choose to experience life.
you can blame yourself for choices made in the past, you can refuse to forgive yourself, + you can regret every single decision you’ve ever made —
it’s not the flex you think it is.
come to terms with your choices,
notice that you hating on + bad mouthing who you were won’t change what’s happened,
+ choose to give yourself the grace you deserve.
walking into a new era in your life can look like releasing past condemnations you’ve held onto about who you were + the decisions you made back then.
today, even if it’s for one split second, see your growth + bask in how dope it feels to walk a new path in life.
will you choose to see yourself in a different light?
will you choose different for yourself today?
will you choose to honor who you were + how far you’ve come?
as always, the choice is yours.
be you, be dope!
