Love Letters and Lace

Happy Monday everyone! Here's your motivation for this week. So many times I've put myself down and held myself back because of past failures. Don't ever let that stop you. The past is the past, look forward and keep trying to reach your goals. I had a rough past couple weeks, mostly because I was dwelling on one particularly bad day. Yeah, it happened and it sucked. But there's no reason to keep bringing down my good present thinking about the bad past. Have a great week everyone! xo

Happy Monday everyone! I haven't done a Motivation Monday in a little while, but I came across this quote yesterday and it really stuck with me so I thought I would share it today. For a long time, my self confidence and belief in my abilities relied heavily upon validation from others. This is something that has taken me so long to break and I continue to work on it daily. You don't need anyone to tell you that you are smart, pretty or worthy. The things others say about you do not define you. No one has the power to define what you are but you. You need to validate yourself and believe it. I hope you're all having an amazing Monday and have a great upcoming week! xo

Happy Monday everyone! And Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers! I wanted to share this quote with you all today because it really made me think. How many times have you dropped a project or big dream because you just didn't think you could do it? My biggest problem has always been that I second guess and doubt myself when in reality, I could most probably do it. Anything worth having wont come easy, and maybe you'll stumble and fail a few times along the way, but don't lose that determination and confidence that you can achieve it. The only thing that can hold you back is yourself. Not failure, not bad luck, but you. Believe in yourselves today, and keep working towards those dreams, no matter how big. xo
