🌻Did you actually fail or are you carrying someone else’s disappointment as your identity?
🌻Think about that for a minute.
How many times have you called yourself a failure because your life didn’t turn out the way someone ELSE thought it should?
You didn’t stay in the marriage.
You didn’t keep the career.
You didn’t make enough money.
You didn’t parent exactly the way they would have.
You started over.
You changed your mind.
You walked away.
🌻You chose something they didn’t understand.
And suddenly their disappointment became evidence that you had somehow failed.
But disappointment and failure are not the same thing.
Someone can be disappointed in your choices simply because your choices no longer serve their expectations of you.
Sometimes people aren’t disappointed because you’re failing.
They’re disappointed because you’re changing.
Because you’re no longer playing the role they became comfortable watching you play.
Because you’re making decisions without asking for their approval.
Because the version of you they understood is disappearing.
And if you aren’t careful, you’ll carry their disappointment around for years and call it your identity.
“I couldn’t make it work.”
“I should have done better.”
“I wasted all those years.”
“Maybe they’re right about me.”
🌻No.
Maybe you learned.
Maybe you survived.
Maybe you outgrew something.
Maybe you finally recognized that continuing down the wrong road simply because you had already traveled it for years wasn’t success.
Maybe starting over wasn’t your failure.
Maybe starting over was the first decision you made that wasn’t based on somebody else’s definition of who you were supposed to be.
🌻So ask yourself again:
Did you actually fail?
Or are you carrying someone else’s disappointment as your identity?
🌻🌻Because you are allowed to put that s**t down.
