Resilience
Be kind to yourself. Stop telling yourself that whatever you are struggling with “should” be easy. If something is hard for you, it is hard for you. There are probably Reasons, though those may just be how you are wired. Acknowledge these things. When you finish something hard, be proud! Celebrate a little. And really, just stop saying “should” to yourself about your thoughts and feelings in any context. You feel how you feel. The things in your head are the things in your head. You can’t change either directly through sheer force of will. You can only change what you do. Stop beating yourself up for who and what you are right now - it isn’t productive. Focus on moving forward.— Keely Chaisson

Why This Quote Matters
On the surface this is about acknowledge. Sit with it longer and it turns into something about choices, and effort, and what you do when things get harder than expected.
If it connected with you, send it to one person who would understand why. Good words travel better when they are shared with intention.
Not every quote is meant for every person at every moment. If this one landed, it landed for a reason.
