A friend once asked, "Would you talk to me the way you talk to yourself?" Maya Angelou said we do the best we can with what we have. The reminder: give yourself the grace you'd give someone else.
I have a very wise friend who once said to me, would you talk to me the way that you talk to yourself? And I went, oh my gosh, I would never talk to you that way. And she said, well then, why are you talking to yourself that way? And so an invitation to check our inner dialogue and give ourselves a hug and affirm that we're doing the best that we can with what we have in the moment. Thank you for that beautiful quote, Maya Angelou, right? We do the best we can with what we have. And when we know better, we do better. Yes. And so to give ourselves grace and to find people and communities that can support us when we are going through the hard times.
