🌺 This week’s theme: Why It Matters to Cheer for Others
It’s not always easy to cheer.
Especially when you hit a gnarly pothole in the road and collapse inward on yourself with feelings of frustration, anger, insecurity, unworthiness, or rejection. Yesterday was one of those days for me and I’m feeling all the yucky feels.
But there is also learning that comes from grief and wisdom born from pain.
Writing about this in today’s Daily Self reminds me that the times that are the hardest to cheer are the most important times to cheer. It’s not about the likes, the mentions, the followers, the revenue, the reviews, the salary, the job, the grades, the medals, the house, the car, or any other measuring stick that literally won’t matter one fucking bit after you die.
It’s about the people whose lives you positively change through your goodness, your values, and your compassion. That’s what lasts—the cheering.
I don’t know all of you, but I do know that you all have the ability to change other people’s lives for the better.
So, go out and do that.
And never stop cheering.
