Weightlifting

Sometimes it's hard to see how great you are, or how great other people think you are. You do good, you do well, you do right by other people, and that's what the world sees. They don't see all the little things you do wrong, the weight you carry from not being enough in your own eyes. You try, you strive, yet one tiny misstep along the way and you magnify it more than it needs to be. We're all fallible, but it doesn't mean we have to hold ourselves hostage to ourselves. We can continue to move forward, even as we stub our toe. Despite the tribulations of life, we can see how great we are, as we lighten the load our shoulders carry.
