Struggle Street.

Dear residents of ‘Struggle Street’

For those of you out there having a rough day or going through a tough patch, this one is for you…

Today didn’t go as you planned…
🌅 That’s ok. Tomorrow is a new day.

I don’t think I can do this. It’s too hard... ⛓The only limitations you have are the ones you place on yourself. Take the shackles off.

I’m lost, I’ve got no direction…
🔦 Go and find someone to help. Lighting the torch for someone else can’t help but shine a light on your own path.

I am in a real pickle at the moment, I don’t know what to do…
🫂 Pick one person you trust, be strong and be vulnerable. They will open their arms and heart to you. You aren’t alone.

I can’t get a job. I keep getting the door shut in my face…
🙌🏻 Every no brings you closer to a yes.

Today is really not a good day…
👣 It’s ok. Today finishes at midnight and your feet won’t be in the same place when you wake up.

Everyone else seems to have this life thing figured out. I'm not great at this life thing…
👐 Every single human has their struggles. You are not alone, you are loved and you can share.

I feel like such an idiot. I keep screwing up…
💏 Be kind to yourself. Talk to yourself as if you were talking to your best friend.

I keep failing, and it hurts. I’m a failure…
📈 Keep failing your way to success.  Your relentlessness will see you succeed.

I’m feeling pretty useless…
💖 You are loved and you are enough.

I don’t know what I am doing personally or professionally…
🤷🏻‍♂️ No one does. We are all figuring it out as we go.

My mind never stops, with so many negative thoughts. It’s exhausting…
👃 Negative thoughts are normal. Your thoughts and feelings are not facts. They’re a bit like bad smells, sometimes they hang around for a while, but rarely forever.

Struggle Street is a place where some people pass by, some take a bit of an extended stay there and some of us feel like we have taken out a long-term lease at number 1!

My point is, we have all been there at some point, you are not alone, you are loved and there are people in your life who care about you deeply.

Put your hand up if you’re currently on Struggle Street 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️
Or Put a 👊🏻 if you’ve been there and you’re here to help.
