Is not always the same as the life I live everyday. It means moving on from the familiar.Making choices.
Living my best life is not the same as doing my best at everything. It demands that I choose- Compromises are neither wrong nor avoidable. Compromises are sometimes the only way to prioritize.
The best life requires me to make an effort to get over fear. Uncertainty is a comfortable pool to wade in, but making an impression requires me to step out, leave wet footprints on ground I have not yet walked. And realize that it is okay to slip and fall. Only in losing my footing can I learn how to find it.
The best life leads with strings of reassurance. Responses when I steel myself for none. Reels of time instead of the deadlines I fear. Encouragement warming over spaces I paint in cold sweats of words. And reminders, always- Never to take anything in life too seriously, including my own panic.
