HOW WE ACTUALLY ARE OUR HARSHEST CRITICS + OUR OWN SELF INFLICTED LIMITATIONS // another passionate post

we limit ourselves

"I'm not smart enough"
"what if I fail??..."

here I go again. I'm the type of person who listens to a lot of people. I know a bunch of you. You've told me your stories - some more than others. I try to be there. I try to be honest (also curve my terrible bluntness) but tbh, it's just a lot of trying. like. i'm just a kid in this massive world. I really don't know what I'm talking about.

but there are some things I think I know about. And, man, this thing called passion is part of me. I can't stand thinking that you're stuck bc of your fears.

My best friend and I started something two months ago. We dared each other to do one incredibly scary thing a month. She left for college. I applied for a job. It sparked something in me. I didn't want to wait anymore cuz I was listening to the thoughts of;

"julia you'll die out there"
"you're inexperienced."
"WHY WOULD THEY WANT YOU?!"

We would call each other completely dying over our scary things. but, we were doing them. And, I got that job interview. I got that job. She's thriving at college. We are still struggling. I'm exhausted from the change (also from finishing up my summer job + my new library one) LIKE THIS STUFF IS TOUGH

but.
we.
are.
doing.
it.

this is us right girlie?

Limitations aren't something you're born with - they are things you decide for yourself.  Nick Vujicic was born without arms or legs. But, those aren't even limitations for him!

When you say you can't do something, it's bc you've decided you can't. Sure, there are a lot of reasons behind that decision, but lets face it. most of them are bc of

• fears
• what someone has told you
• how you feel about your self image (READ THIS POST IF SO)
• bc you believe you're unworthy (dude you're not - read this post so I can prove it) 
• also fears again (k so read this post (sorry for the post dumps) xP)

There are moments of frustration. Of hitting that wall of fears, but I'm ready to give you a boost and I'm encouraging you to find a way over, around, under, that wall. Who knows! Maybe you'll even find a door. 

It's time to give glory to God for the strengths He has instilled in you. believe me, there are lots. 

friends, critic yourself less. limit yourself less. no more fears. do the hard thing. do the scary thing. it's actually fun and rewarding. 

DO YOU CRITIC AND LIMIT YOURSELF?
