Before you’re big, you’re small.

It’s hard to imagine that a bumbling, drooling baby could become a strong, beautiful person. It’s hard to imagine that a spark could become a roaring fire. It’s hard to imagine that a drop of rain could start a flood. But it happens. Most overnight successes are 10-year overnight successes. Don’t fool yourself. Plant a seed and water it. Put in the time. If what you’re doing is good, the goodness will surely shine through. Love only grows.

Don’t stop there.

It’s easy to get going, but sometimes it’s hard to keep going.

But the ditch isn’t as deep as you think. And sometimes the hill isn’t as high.

You will find a way out. You will find a way up.

Keep going.

Keep on.

Keep on keepin’ on.

Trust yourself.

Sometimes you are alone in the dark.

You can’t see your eyes, you can’t see your heart.

You want to give up.

You want to go on.

You know that giving up would be wrong.

Dig your heels into your soul and trust yourself like no one has ever trusted you before.

Show us something we’ve never seen before.

Show us your heart.

Yay YOU!

yay-you

Yay for friends! Yay for being born! Yay for getting older because that’s like the same as being born, it’s just a little later. Yay for having friends to give cards to!
