magnificent.

today.
stand tall.
walk proud.

even if you’re not feeling capable.
 
 
tomorrow.
think back.
acknowledge strength.

remember how you fought your way through.
 
 
today.
push limits.
applaud progress.

even if you’re not feeling confident.
 
 
tomorrow.
reflect often.
recognize grit.

remember how you never gave up.
 
 
today.
ignore naysayers.
risk jumping.

even if you’re not feeling courageous.
 
 
tomorrow.
consider growth.
appreciate movement.

remember how truly magnificent you were.
 
 

 
 
will you look at your former self with kindness?
with admiration and love?
 
 
make your future self beam at the memory.

and tomorrow.
