I forgive myself for settling.
I’ve stayed in places, relationships, and mindsets that were beneath my worth — not because I didn’t want more, but because I didn’t believe I could ask for it. Today, I release the guilt. I forgive myself for settling. And I choose better from here forward. Echo me if you will: I forgive myself for settling. — Dave Shelton #ForgivingMyself #NoMoreSettling #HealingForward #SelfWorth #Becoming #YouMatter #DaveShelton

I don’t need to see the whole staircase to take the first step; I trust in my journey.
I don’t have all the answers. I don’t always know what’s waiting around the corner — but I’m still stepping. Faith doesn’t require full vision, just the courage to move. Echo me if you will: I don’t need to see the whole staircase to take the first step; I trust in my journey. — Dave Shelton #TrustTheJourney #FaithOverFear #JustTakeTheStep #HealingForward #Becoming #KeepMoving #DaveShelton

I accept my imperfections.
I don’t have to be perfect to be worthy. The goal isn’t to erase my flaws — it’s to embrace them and still choose myself. Today, I accept my imperfections and keep becoming anyway. Echo me if you will: I accept my imperfections. — Dave Shelton #SelfAcceptance #HealingForward #ImperfectlyWorthy #Becoming #GraceForMyself #YouMatter #DaveShelton
