The Pep Talk You Need to Hear Today

Brace yourself, Gorgeous Souls: This episode is unscripted.

My ideas were getting all tangled up in my head so I decided to ditch the notepad and speak from the heart.

What I REALLY want you to know is this - you can handle anything.

I know that sounds cheesy or cliche, but it’s the truth. You have handled everything so far. Everything. You’ve survived 100% of your bad days. The problem is that you can’t handle things.

The problem is that you THINK you can’t handle things.

The problem is that you don’t BELIEVE in your ability to overcome obstacles, handle a crisis, or make opportunities happen.

You know what’s NOT going to make you feel better? Doubting yourself.

This is not the time to think of all the possible ways you can fail. That way of thinking only brings suffering. What’s more constructive is telling yourself the truth: I can handle ANYTHING. It might not be easy and it might not be fun, but I can DO this.

That’s what I really want you to know. That and I love you and believe in you.
