You Must Be Brave to Be Who You're Meant to Be

Life teaches you many important things, yet sometimes we get so caught up in everyday things that we don't recognize the lessons.
You must be brave to be who you're meant to be. Breaking toxic cycles that have become norms is quite a process, with multiple stages. Understanding that you want change is the first step — but it isn't as simple as it sounds. Once you comprehend that you want change, you must act.
Change will happen, but only with willpower and dedication. I try extremely hard, sometimes for months, and then things shift real quick. I know that about myself now. Knowing it is part of the work.
No matter how low or awful you may think things are going, always say things are better, or a work in progress. Words have power. It's up to you to bless or curse yourself.

What cycle are you in the middle of breaking?
