"You are so much more than you are going through."

“You are so much more than you are going through”.

Isn’t that just refreshing to hear? Sometimes we forget how strong we are, and what we’re capable of. We forget that in the face of any challenge, we have what it takes to overcome it within us. The only person that can tell you differently is yourself.

That’s not to say life isn’t full of challenges, it absolutely is, and it’s meant to test us. We face adversity that tests our will. We lose motivation and desperately search for it. We get anxious and stressed when it seems like we can’t.

But let me ask you this, has anything you’ve faced ever won? Well I can tell you it hasn’t. It might not have gone according to plan or worked out in an ideal way, but you live to fight another day. In my book, that means you won.

It means that in every instance so far, you have had more within you than whatever it is you were going through. The best part is those experiences have only helped to make you capable of more. Every challenge faced generates experience that you can use in the next one. Be grateful for the role it played in your life. Extract the lessons and growth. Keep on winning like you have every time before.

You are so much more than you are going through. I believe it, and I know you do too.
