INSPIRATION: 40/40 Hindsight

by | Apr 27, 2015 | Insights & Inspiration

Whenever you’re facing uncertainty and wondering if you should trust ______, remember that whether or not you trust ______ you can absolutely trust yourself to make the best of whatever you’re getting yourself into.

Sound silly? Look back at the last thing that went poorly and what you learned out of it. What mistakes do you no longer make because of it? Use this 40/40 hindsight to look forward. You don’t have to see as clearly to believe in yourself and your ability to come out stronger, smarter, more mature and wiser on the other end. Just like you did last time.

Deep breath. Now go!

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ~Marilyn Monroe
