Let the process of honoring your capacity become a meaningful experience all on its own:
There will be some days where your strength is stronger than others, and you will feel like you can take on more than ever before. There are some days where you might feel much more courageous or maybe even willing to take a leap of faith in some way. There are times where you might be keenly aware that you just have to focus on being gentle with yourself. There are days where you feel a greater capacity for patience. But on all of these days, no matter where you find yourself, it is still meaningful to be here at all. You are still uncovering many layers of who you are and how you are learning to stay connected and grounded amidst it all…even if you don’t feel like you can do everything at once.
Perhaps the reason why we may not feel like we are able to do all of these things at once is because even though words like “patience” and “courage” are big and can feel overarching, they are words that we can also see as layers, layers that we may move through. There may be days or moments where we feel strong, courageous, patient, and gentle all at once but if we don’t feel all that at once, maybe that’s okay too.
Maybe we are allowed to pace ourselves as we move through each day, honoring our capacity. – Morgan Harper Nichols
