There are so many before and after photos on social media these days.
To the point where if you don’t have one you kinda feel shit about it. You think why the hell don’t I have such a dramatic change in my body? Why don’t I have more photos of my beginning? Why can’t I see change but for them change looks so easy?!
Don’t get me wrong I love these photos (especially when they are used in the right way), I love celebrating people’s successes. See I all their hard work paying off.
But what about the photos that don’t show the change?
What we can’t see is what a person has been through. What have they had to live through in their personal, professional lives. What have they had to overcome to still be standing in that photo.
And trust me, it wouldn’t have been easy.
What we can’t see in those photos, is that they are stronger in mind and body, than they where yesterday. That by fighting to become who they are today, that is the most important growth. Things we can’t see, is what is most important. Is what had the biggest influence on who they are, and how they got to this point.
When you look at your photos look at the things we can’t see.
Look at how much you have grown as a person.
Look at how much stronger and fitter you are.
Look at how much you have had to survive and how it has made you stronger, more compassionate, nicer.
Look at how much you are changing and growing everyday.
Look at how much you have learnt on this journey.
