Self-growth



Don't know where to start and to end
I will try to tell you what I meant—

The truth is,
There's so much more to life.

I've learned to understand that
although I am just a small part of this world,
I can do big things.

My truth is found in who I really am,
not who I try to be or what someone
thinks of me.

Break free from all the pressure.
Break free from comparing
myself to everyone.
Break free from believing that
I am not good enough.

Trying my best to
remind myself;
how far I'v come
not how far I still need to go.

Whatever I want to be,
I'll keep going,
no matter what.

I may not have the control
over the things,
but I believe that
I'll get there.

Trust the process.

We never know how high we are Till we are called to rise; And then, if we are true to plan, Our statures touch the skies— The Heroism we recite Would be a daily thing, Did not ourselves the Cubits warp For fear to be a King— From 'We Never Know How High We Are' (1176) by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) more…
