If you’re anything like me, then you’ve probably wondered if all of this is really worth it. Whether the striving, the long hours, or putting yourself out there, will actually count for something. You've probably felt deflated when you see other people running miles ahead of you, while you’re just tying your shoelaces. . I don’t promise this page will give you the motivation you’re looking for. But if you’ve ever needed someone else to tell you to keep going, let this be it. . The most impactful changes are microscopic. They happen slowly, consistently and gradually. No matter how stagnant you think you are, you’re transforming in ways beyond what you can imagine. You owe it to yourself to see that transformation through// Link in Bio for more reasons why you should keep going 💪 #thewednesdayclub ⁣ ⁣

Something beautiful happens when you can see the value where you are. Although your circumstances may not reflect where you want to be, that doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant. It doesn’t mean that it’s to be discounted or written off. You have no idea who needs you to be present, right here, right now. //A note I wrote to myself when I wanted to be anywhere else but here 🌺

I think that comparison latches onto our hearts so easily because we want to become somebody. We want to know that our efforts to make our lives meaningful are going to pay off. So when we see someone else get the things we want, we feel robbed. We think something must be wrong with us. Underlying all of this is the belief that other people deserve good things, but not us.⁣ .⁣ Comparison is not something you conquer. It’s something you continuously acknowledge. It’s not something that we triumph over once and then never measure ourselves again. Rather, we must intentionally uproot the lies every time it strikes our most vulnerable areas.⁣ .⁣ If you've ever measured yourself against someone and felt like you aren't enough, I see you, I'm here for you and in true Ash-style, I wrote for you.

Something important everyone should know👇⁣ I heard @thealisonshow talk about this idea of Yin and Yang in life and how there can't be beauty without the darkness.⁣ .⁣ This duality in life means that positivity can't exist without a negative pull. So it's just a fact that if people love you, there will be people that dislike you.⁣ If hardship comes your way, then naturally, so will beautiful things.⁣ .⁣ So for anyone going through a difficult season or dealing with people raining on your parade, just know that the darkness is helping your light shine so much brighter. Hold on for the good things headed your way ☀ 💕

Apologies are powerful because it’s an acknowledgement that someone else’s actions, whether intentional or not, have hurt us. But it’s a daily battle for me to accept that sometimes we will never ever get an apology from those who wounded us.⁣ .⁣ People can leave our lives before they’re held to account for their actions. Others may be too prideful to see the effects of their actions. ‘I’m Sorry’ isn’t a phrase that’s easily uttered.⁣ .⁣ You may never get an apology from the person that hurt you, but maybe just hearing it from someone else is the push you need to start your healing process// Link in Bio for the apologies you didn't even know you needed ☝ #thewednesdayclub #isittoolatenowtosaysorry⁣

Rejection serves a purpose that’s far greater than you know. You may not see it while it’s happening, and you may never get the answers to why it had to happen this way. But one day you’ll be sitting at a job you love or besides somebody who makes you feel like home, and you’ll think to yourself ‘thank goodness I was saved from that other path.'⁣ .⁣ If you haven't already read my piece on Rejection, it's been published on @windrosemagazine. Link in Bio for anyone who has ever been rejected 🔥⁣
