Experiences: The Unpaid Teachers♡

We often tend to have our self-confidence ruled by previous experiences in our past.

You dated the wrong person & learned a hard lesson. You chose the wrong major & had to start over again. You cherished a friend who turned their back on you. That's Life. We learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh and do it all over again. But maybe you brought these negative experiences from your past into the present, feeling helpless, powerless and insecure about yourself. About your ambitions, your talents or how others view you as a person.

This can be a reason why you tend to feel insecure and anxious today, so that you prefer to hinder yourself from making new memories.

However, by that you take away the opportunity to make new and beautiful experiences, who can correct your previous ones. You're reducing yourself to these past experiences. Remember: It was just a chapter, not your whole story ♡

So don't hold back, go all in. And most importantly, don't doubt yourself. Because you are so much more than your past. Life in the present and be open for new adventures. I am aware that you may don't know what you are looking for right now in life, but you'll feel it when you'll find it. Believe me, in the end you will be more than thankful things didn't work out the way you wanted. ♡

Don't be your own prisoner, allow disappointment to be a sign that something better is coming. Like my mom always said: Everything happens for a reason. So be ready for new experiences you don't have to heal from and remember: A mind stretched by new experiences can never go back to old dimensions.

All my love,
