Smile

“Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” – Elbert Hubbard

Try to laugh at yourself. Try to smile more. Stop taking things so seriously all the time. Release the unrealistic expectations you’ve placed on yourself—those heavy burdens that whisper you must check every box and reach every goal perfectly. They don’t serve you.

Acknowledge and accept the simple truth: where you are right now may not be where you want to be, but it is where you are meant to be. It’s part of the journey, part of the process of growth. Stop fighting the moment. There’s no need for self-criticism or comparison. The only task that truly matters today is moving the ball down the field—making progress, even if it’s small.

Laugh at your mistakes. Smile through the imperfect moments. Remember that Progress isn’t about pperfection—it’s about resilience, lightness, and the courage to keep moving forward.
