Do Not Give Up | Come So Far

DO NOT GIVE UP.

When your life no longer seems to matter, would you please hold on just a little while more?

I KNOW IT FEELS IMPOSSIBLE, like there is no reason to live, no beauty in what there is, the struggles are just too hard and it hurts so much you can't breathe, but your head is lying to you.

IT IS POSSIBLE to go on. There are endless reasons to live.

There is beauty all around us, even in the gray.

There is no struggle you cannot overcome.

When it hurts to breathe, force yourself to breathe deeper. Overcome the part of your brain that says it will hurt -- it is lying to you about that, too. Deep breathing will help; it is magic. Mindfulness will help empower you to take back control of your well-being.

-- You are not alone!! I know what it is like to face this dark cruel world on my own, but I have learned that even then, I was never alone. Within each of us are the lessons and memories from countless others. Any time someone has smiled at you or a child's laugh was within earshot, that goodness went into you - it became a part of you. Every sunset and raindrop is now a part of you.

You are not alone.

You got this.

You are not your struggles.

Your decide how your worth is calculated.

"What you are going through will soon be what you went through."

Life is tough - but so are you.

Look at how far you've come.

It is never too late to be who you want to be.
