Fresh

Thristina Woodhams

Today I put on makeup for the first time in a very, very long time. I started, didn’t like it, then wiped it off. Eventually, I started again. This time I was right on the money. This is how we should view the way we do most things in life. Who says that we have to be perfect the first time to be great at anything? On the first try, no warm-ups are always pretty awesome. When you can do something flawlessly on your first try, those moments are like magic. But there is just something different about watching something progress, grow, and flourish into something great with endurance and perseverance over time. It’s so rewarding to know that you as a human will keep going no matter what life has stacked against you. Never let your mind’s eye be heavily trafficked by the doubtful thoughts of not feeling adequate. Just get up and try again and I know you will surprise yourself. May we always know when we need to regain our footing and start again? May we always have the courage to start fresh when everything seems just out of reach!
