Ponder This: Day 2

You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.

~ Maya Angelou


Read that slowly.

This one matters.

Somewhere along the way, society convinced us that we have to choose.

Either you have it all together, or you are still figuring it out.

Either you are successful or, you are still growing.

Either you are enough, or you still need to do more.

Maya Angelou’s wisdom quietly says:

No.

That is not how becoming works.

You are not a project waiting to be finished before you deserve celebration.

That is a lie.

You are not a final draft that needs to be perfect before you are worthy of love, including your own.

You are both.

Right now.

At the same time.

The masterpiece lives in your resilence.

In your stories.

In your scars.

In everything your survived to become this version of yourself.

And the work in progess?

She lives in your hunger.

Your growth.

Your willingness to keep becoming.

Neither cancels the other out.

In fact, one fuels the other.

Stop waiting until you ” arrive” to give yourself credit.

Stop shrinking in the meantime.

You are allowed to stand tall in who you are and reach for who you are becoming.

Simultaneously.

Unapologetically,

Every single day.

Reflection prompt: What part of yourself are you waiting to be “finished” before you finally embrace it?

If this resonated with you, like and comment and follow along as we ponder life and this beautiful journey.
