10 things to believe in 2016
everything you do changes the world around you, and you have the ability to make it better in ways that no one else can, since no one else is you!
2. you are not the source of your darkness
you weren’t born believing bad things about yourself or others! these are lies you have been told over and over.
3. we’re all trying to believe better things
working toward getting rid of those lies is a battle we’re fighting together. you’re never alone!
4. be gentle and kind as best as you can
no one is always gentle and kind! but keep forgiving yourself and keep trying.
5. it is impossible to love someone without hurting them sometimes
making mistakes is part of learning how to love someone in a kinder way. you’re probably being hard on yourself long after you’ve already been forgiven.
so many people genuinely want others to be happy and safe! if you feel alone, close your eyes and think of all the strangers in the world who wish good things for you just because you exist.
7. but it’s not your fault if you believe people are bad
we believe what we’ve been taught, but remember that it’s also possible to try to teach yourself something new that will make you happier.
8. you are not weak for being affected by difficult things
sometimes there’s no way not to be affected.
9. it’s okay to ask for what you need
you’ll be a stronger and happier part of the world. taking and giving means growing! don’t cut off your water supply, you are not a burden.
