When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal

by Brianna Wiest

What if instead of counting up all the times things haven’t worked out precisely the way you imagined they would or should, you considered that perhaps you were being led somewhere better?

You are not for everyone, and everyone is not for you. That’s what makes it so special when you do find the few people with whom you have a genuine friendship, love or relationship: you’ll know how precious it is because you’ve experienced what it isn’t.

The most precious, important thing that you have in your life is your energy. It is not your time that is limited, it is your energy. What you give it to each day is what you will create more and more of in your life. What you give your time to is what will define your existence.

The things that are truly right for you will find you, and they will stay. They will grow you, challenge you, and change you. Most of all, they will not exist in the distance, in the future, in a potential version of reality.

The path forward is understanding that we are sometimes collateral damage to people’s own inner wars, and that we do not need to adopt their weapons as our own in order to fight back.

Your peak hours are the time each day when you’re clearest, most energized, most capable of problem-solving, getting inspired, and creating. For most people, this is early morning to mid-morning. Don’t waste your most potent energy on things that drain you.

When you try to convince someone to love you, you are fighting a battle you cannot win. Love is a free flowing thing. If someone does not give it effortlessly, it is not worth pursuing.

I hope that you learn success is less about vision than it is consistency, because ideas are easy, and everyone has them. It is what you act on consistently that you truly see the viability of. It is what you do all of the time that you learn to grow around and through.
