Things discomfort can reveal…
Lately I’ve noticed how often “I’m trying my best” really meant “I’m trying to be perfect.”
Discomfort has a way of showing us the parts that still think we have to get everything exactly right to be “okay.”
But you can be doing your best without being perfect.
You can be growing without having it all together.
And you’re still worthy, even when things feel messy.
Discomfort doesn’t mean you’re failing.
Sometimes it’s just a sign you’re stretching into something new.
