December 17 – Lesson Learned What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward? (Author: Tara Weaver)
This has kind of been a tough prompt for me. After a lot of thought, I think the best thing I learned this year is that I am capable. Sometimes I allow the word "can't" to creep into my head more often than I would like to actually admit. From graphic designing challenges at work to even running on the treadmill, I somehow let the "I can't" take over my brain and give up instead of pushing myself to overcome the mental block.
It's definitely something I have been working on all year, and I do have my moments of weakness, but for the most part I have really learned that I truly am capable of doing anything that I set my mind to as long as I believe in myself.
That last part of my lesson that I mentioned, the "as long as I believe in myself," part really is the key to knowing that I am capable and the key to continue overcoming any future "can't" battles. If I don't believe in myself, why should anyone else? I am smart, strong, & resilient but I have to believe that first and those three words, "I am capable," is a great way to remind myself. =)
