Growth can at times feel relentless, and sometimes I want to say, 'Come on Universe, just give me a break!'

But what I'm forgetting when I'm having a down day is that my life is full of breaks. On the whole I love my life, but sometimes I become a little too aware, of my here and now reality, which makes me feel like I've gone right back to the beginning and I feel as though I can't handle it.

But I can handle it! I always have, and I always will!

I just have to shift my perspective, and look at all the wonderful things that I know are waiting for me. If all I can do right now, is just put one foot in front of the other, then so be it. We all have to do whatever it takes simply to get us through the next moment, and the next, and the next, and the next. 

The real trick, is not to let those down times define us. We're not lazy, and we're not behind, don't tell yourself those things, and don't allow anyone else to tell you those things either. 

We are where we are, and where we are is exactly where we are meant to be!!
