14. Give yourself a pep talk
I run something amazing called the Lakewood Neighborhood Book Swap. Something that benefits our community, something that people love. As much as I love it, it’s also a thankless job, or rather situation. Just a few days ago, a random guy in a light blue boxy older type car stopped in front of my house and literally stole our sign, one that was written with pride and care on an expensive artist canvas. To say the least, that was hurtful and disheartening.
However today (Thursday) someone dropped off another anonymous donation! I walked outside, and there were two more bags of kid’s books! This after someone left five boxes and a bag of books just last week. I still have no idea who dropped the latest batch of books off. But it was so encouraging and welcome. It reminded me that I am in fact doing something right! I reminded myself that there are some people in life who will knock you down. And then there are people who truly believe in you, and what you’re doing. Reminding myself of that really does inspire and encourage me. We all need some encouragement every once in awhile.
When was the last time you gave yourself a pep talk? Why did you need it? What was the situation? Post it in the comments!
