Becoming Takes Time

Welcome to Today’s Moment of Joy! 🌼

Some days we wake up and feel behind before we’ve even brushed my teeth. Behind what? I couldn’t really tell you. It’s like there’s some imaginary finish line we're were supposed to have crossed by now, and because we haven’t, we're failing in some invisible way.

But here’s the truth I’m learning, slowly and imperfectly. You’re not supposed to have it all figured out. Life isn’t a checklist. Growth isn’t linear. And becoming who you’re meant to be isn’t something that shows up on schedule.

We are all in progress. We are all works-in-progress. And that is not only okay, it’s beautiful.

So I remind myself to stop rushing. To let the idea of deadlines soften. I’d rather be a little late and fully human than perfectly on time and completely disconnected from myself. I’d rather grow slowly with deep roots than bloom too fast and burn out.

You don’t need to know everything right now. You don’t need to be everything right now. You just need to be here, trying, learning, adjusting, resting, and returning to yourself again and again.

Let yourself be in process. Let yourself be here.

"The path isn’t a straight line. It’s a spiral. You keep coming back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths." — Unknown

Thanks for taking a moment to pause. Wishing you a day of simple joys. 💛
