Learning the beauty of coexistence. That it is okay to enjoy the current moment - the ‘being’, while longing for what’s still unfolding - the ‘becoming’, at the same time. 

Was speaking to a friend and had the realisation why we often felt ‘not enough’ is because we unconsciously raised the bar higher each time a goal is reached. And while growth is beautiful, it can become exhausting if we never allow ourselves to be happy now, to rest in the moment we once wished for. 

But im slowly learning that we don’t have to choose between happiness and growth — we can feel both whole and aim higher at the same time. That I can thrive in this present moment and celebrate the milestones, while still aiming for new horizons concurrently. It is a balance of gratitude with drive, reminding me of the convo with @alexikonn of @intelligentchange and his seemingly simple yet powerful tip which I didn’t understand then, was to ‘have fun on the journey’, how apt. 

Putting this down as a reminder to myself: ‘Don’t outrun your own story; celebrate where you stand. And remember to savour the present, for being in the present is the greatest gift you can give, to yourself, to others, and to the moments that make up your life’ 🥺🤎
