I love this piece. so many important ideas shared here. 'We can take charge of our lives and make slow but gradual changes that we will be proud of in the future.' reminds me of a quote from The Minimalists: “The most genuine way to live is to align your short-term actions with your long-term values. You want to make your future self proud of your present self.”
"It is a slow, gradual process for me. It doesn't come all at once like an epiphany, nor is it the result of hitting rock bottom and rising from the ashes. Instead, it comes from a gentle whisper within me that I allow myself to listen to, reminding me repeatedly to lead the life I want to be."
Weirdly it reminded me of a piece I wrote last year about how I approach creativity/writing with patience like planting little seeds and growing them into tall redwood trees -- slowness and intention, I'm all about it!
I love what you write there. Truly resonates strongly with me too :)
Patient is vital. Living in modern world feels like everything demands instant result, but we forget that result takes time and through patient we can endure it by keep showing up even though you don't feel like it.
Your writing is so vulnerable and real. Thanks for sharing!

I'm already excited to see your next piece!
Yes, making our future self proud is important to live a good life.
Thanks for the support, Kelly!
