Hey Friend,
If we were sitting across from each other right now, I'd tell you something I wish someone had told me a long time ago: "You're much closer to the life you want than you realize."
I know what you might be thinking- But it doesn't feel that way. Believe me, I get it. We all have days when it feels like our goals are light- years away, like the universe forgot to leave us a roadmap. But today, I want to share a little secret with you, one that might shift how you see your journey.
It's not about how far you've come or how far you have to go. It's about recognizing the small victories along the way- and they're happening every day, whether you notice them or not.
The Illusion of "Not Enough"
Let me ask you this: How often do you focus on what you haven't done yet?
We're so good at beating ourselves up for falling short, aren't we? But here's the thing- what if you've been measuring progress all wrong?
A few months ago, I found myself stuck in a loop of "I'm not where I want to be." I was so focused on the finish line that I completely overlooked how far I'd already come. Then a mentor told me Something that hit me like a lightning bolt:
"Progress isn't always loud. Sometimes, it whispers."
That shifted everything for me. I started keeping track of even the tiniest wins- the moments that felt insignificant at the time but were actually proof that I was moving forward. And you know what? It gave me the momentum I needed to keep going.
Start Celebrating Your Small Wins
Here's an exercise I want you to try. At the end of each day, write down one thing you did well. It doesn't have to be monumental. Maybe you made it through a tough day at work. Maybe you chose a healthier meal. Maybe you reached out to a friend you've been meaning to reconnect with.
Whatever it is, write it down. Celebrate it. Because these small wins? They're the stepping stones to something bigger.
I've been doing this for a while now, and let me tell you- it's life- changing. It's like building a highlight reel of your own growth, one tiny step at a time.
You're Stronger Than You Think
You might not feel it right now, but you're so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Every challenge you've faced, every time you've picked yourself up after falling- it's all evidence of your resilience.
I'll let you in on a little personal story. Not too long ago, I went through a phase where everything felt like a failure. I'd set goals, fall short, and convince myself I wasn't cut out for success.
But then I realized something: "Every "failure" was a lesson." Each misstep taught me what didn't work, which brought me closer to what did.
You're not failing- you're learning. And every lesson is another brick in the foundation of your success.
What's One Thing You Can Do Today?
I know it's tempting to look at the big picture and feel overwhelmed. But let me ask you this: What's one thing- just one- that you can do today to move closer to your goals?
It doesn't have to be massive. Maybe it's sending an email you've been avoiding. Maybe it's spending five minutes brainstorming ideas for a project linear.
Start Small. Start Messy. Just Start.
Let's Stay Connected
If this letter resonated with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. What's a small win you've had recently? Or what's one step you're planning to take today? Drop a comment and let's celebrate it together- I genuinely want to hear from you.
And if this post spoke to you, share it with someone who might need a little reminder of their own strength. The more we connect and lift each other up, the closer we all get to our goals.
Final Thoughts
Friend, you're not as far away as you think. Every step, no matter how small, is proof that you're on your way. So, keep going. keep believing in yourself. And remember, you're not alone- I'm right here cheering you on.
With all my heart,

What a heart-to-heart pep talk! Loved the vibe—simple, real, and so uplifting. This was like having coffee with a wise, super chill friend who knows just what to say to get you back on track. It’s like a pat on the back wrapped in good vibes! Definitely the kind of note you wanna keep in your back pocket for those "meh" days.✨
