Hello Beautiful People,
I can’t believe I am posting for the second time this week, that’s a small win right there.
Writing content for PYM is one of my biggest passions; I love having the opportunity to connect with other humans and build that relatability through my work. However, given my own life transitions and changes, it has been more difficult to offer and create inspiring content. You may have noticed this through my writing.
Today, I thought it would be just perfect share some positive quotes about post grad or just transitioning in your life. I always love reading quotes when I am feeling down or uncertain about what’s next. Here are few of my favorites:
“I know this transformation is painful, but you’re not falling apart; you’re just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful” – William C. Hannan
I’m technically not even post-grad and I feel like I am falling apart already. It can feel that way when life is moving fast and you don’t have everything figured out like you thought you would after graduation. This quote really resonated with me because transitioning into something new can feel like you’re falling apart when really you’re just transforming yourself and falling into something different.
“You are GOOD enough, SMART enough, BEAUTIFUL enough, and STRONG enough. Believe it and never let insecurity run your life.”
Rejection after rejection, 100+ job applications with no response…you can begin to feel like you’re not enough for anyone. However, this is untrue. Job applications don’t define you. This quote is just a good reminder when you’re beginning to feel defeated and insecure about yourself. Confidence is key, you need to believe in yourself in order to achieve greatness.
“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.”
This one is not specific for those who suffer from anxiety disorder, this can be anyone who is feeling anxious about their future and the unknown. This is the biggest one for me, I become anxious not because I’m looking ahead but because I want to control the outcomes, and I cannot. No one can.
“Try not to resist the changes that come your way. Instead let life live through you. And do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know that the side you are used to is better than the one to come?”
This is a time of serious change and it may feel easy to resist the changes because they’re weird and uncomfortable to what you know, but try not to. Let the changes occur, change may lead you to where you need to be. Without change, you can not grow.
“Don’t let anyone tell you why you can’t do something. Fucking do it and make them feel stupid for ever doubting you and prove them wrong.”
This one is for all my big dreamers out there. I know I would absolutely love to work in the fashion industry; however, so many people try to take that dream away from me by telling me all the wrongs about it. Whatever your dream or goal may be, don’t let some outside force pull you back from achieving what you want. Use it as motivation to propel you and prove them wrong.
These are just a few of my favorite quotes that I have come across lately. I wanted to share some positivity around this some what difficult period, I know I could use more positivity and motivation regarding post grad life. I hope you find these inspiring and feel free to share your favorite quotes in the comments. I’d love to read them!
Thank you for reading PYM today.
