Did you know that where you are right now, is likely to change - quite dramatically - in the future? If times are bleak, if you're finding it hard to pull yourself out of the ditch, just remember what could await you.
8 or so years ago I sold my first tarot readings sitting on the same couch that I used for sleeping at night. We pushed two of them together to pretend it was a double bed because we were lost, stuck, and feeling pretty damned. Couch surfing and starting a business felt a bit useless. I remember how excited I felt just getting our own room, and a desk, a flat surface to work on. Fast forward and I'm in my cozy flat with two beautiful babies and I'm planning my wedding with the love of my life. My Etsy has hit over 8000 sales, 55k in earnings, and my lovely customers send me such positive messages when I return from maternity leave. Back then, I never thought I'd get here. Back then, I thought I'd be kissing the ground of rock bottom for the rest of my life.
Please be aware of everything you can achieve even if it's not possible right in this moment. It really is a marathon, and not a race, and you'll be there soon. Cherish the little good moments even if everything else seems to be falling apart around you. Those are the memories that will make you smile, instead of getting stuck in the bleakness, when you look back at the road you followed to get to a better place. ❤️
