Sometimes I feel like I have to know everything
Like I have to have it all figured out
Like I'm not doing enough to achieve what I want
Like I'm wasting time
Like everything I do is wrong
Like I'm not good enough

But then I laugh in the face of those thoughts
because they come from me
And they can be anything I want them to be

So today my emotions tell me
I am strong enough
I am brilliant
I am stunning
I am captivating
I am doing all that I can
It's okay to make mistakes
We'll figure it out as we go

I got you.
We become imprisoned in our own thoughts and expectations of life because we try to control every little thing. That is impossible. Surrender is where we find true intelligence and wisdom because it is the things that we can not control that teach us our greatest lessons.
