• it's not too late. you aren't behind. you're exactly where you need to be. every step is necessary. don't judge or berate yourself for how long your journey is taking. we all need our own time to travel our own distance. give yourself some credit. and be thankful you made it this far.
• you can't control how other people receive your energy. anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which has nothing to do with you. just keep doing your thing with as much love and integrity as possible.
• don't fall back into your old pattern just because they're more comfortable and easier to access. remember, you left certain habits and situations behind for a reason: to improve your life. and right now, you can't move forward if you keep going back.
• you may not be responsible for everything...__blaming your past for a limiting mindset ...__
