You are doing better than you think
Good day, beautiful ladies,
I hope this message meets you in a calm moment, even if your day has been busy or a little overwhelming. I just felt like sharing something from my heart today something simple, honest, and encouraging.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how strong we truly are as women, even in ways we don’t always recognize. Not the loud kind of strength that everyone sees, but the quiet kind the one that shows up daily, even when we feel tired, even when we feel unsure, even when life is not going the way we planned.
There are days when everything feels fine on the outside, but inside, you’re carrying so much. Responsibilities, expectations, worries, and thoughts you don’t always say out loud. Yet somehow, you still wake up, still try, still show up. And I think that deserves more credit than we give ourselves.
Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves. We look at what we haven’t achieved yet instead of what we’ve already overcome. We compare our lives with others and forget that everyone is fighting a different battle. What looks easy from the outside may not be easy at all.
I’ve had moments where I felt like I wasn’t doing enough. Moments where I questioned my progress and wondered if I was falling behind. But when I slowed down and really looked at my journey, I realized something important—I may not be where I want to be yet, but I’m not where I used to be either.
And that matters.
Growth doesn’t always come with big announcements. Sometimes, it’s in the way you handle things better than before. Sometimes, it’s in choosing peace instead of reacting. Sometimes, it’s in learning to walk away from what no longer serves you. And sometimes, it’s simply in not giving up on yourself, even on your hardest days.
We all have different paths, different timing, and different struggles. So it’s okay if your journey doesn’t look like someone else’s. It doesn’t make you less. It just makes your story unique.
One thing I’m learning, slowly, is to be kinder to myself. To allow myself to rest without guilt. To accept that not every day will be productive. To understand that making mistakes is not failure it’s part of growth.
Some days, your best will be full of energy and motivation. Other days, your best might just be getting through the day and that’s okay. Both are valid. Both count.
Also, I’ve come to realize how important it is to speak positively to yourself. The way we talk to ourselves matters more than we think. If we constantly tell ourselves we’re not enough, we start to believe it. But when we remind ourselves that we’re trying, that we’re learning, that we’re growing it changes everything.
So if no one has told you this lately, let me say it to you:
You are doing well.
You are trying, and that is enough for now.
You are allowed to grow at your own pace.
You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to take your time.
Please don’t rush your journey just because others seem to be moving faster. Life is not a competition. It’s a personal experience, and everyone’s timing is different.
And on those days when you feel tired or discouraged, don’t be too quick to judge yourself. Pause. Breathe. Remind yourself of how far you’ve come, even if it doesn’t feel like much.
Sometimes, the smallest steps are the most important ones.
Let’s also remember to support each other more. A kind word, a little encouragement, a simple “you’re doing well” can mean so much to someone who is silently struggling. We never truly know what another woman is going through, so kindness should always come first.
To every woman reading this whether you’re pushing through a tough season, rebuilding yourself, chasing your dreams, or simply trying to stay strong I see you, and I’m rooting for you.
You may not have everything figured out yet, but you’re on your way. And that’s what matters.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this.
With love,
Just a woman trying her best, one day at a time.
