So long as you’re alive, your dreams are not dead. They may hibernate at times, but they still exist, and they’re still possible. Maybe now isn’t such an easy time. Maybe now you need to prioritize other people and more immediate events. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do something towards your goals and dreams. …
Prove to Yourself
You are capable of more than you allow yourself to believe. Everything you’ve ever heard, been told, seen, done, not done – it’s all been bounded.

You Are Not Your Mistakes
Your mistakes do not define you. Unless you let them. No matter how good or bad you’ve ever been, you can always choose to let go of the past and reorient your present. Now, others may not see it that way… Anyone who felt hurt may still see you as “The One Who Wronged Me.” …
