Patience - Be Patient with yourself, nothing in na Patience - Be Patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year. This is my new favorite mantra and I love that I found this awesome picture @hobbylobby I put it on my stenciled wall right outside my bedroom so I’ll see it every morning to constantly remind myself, to be patient, not just with others, but more importantly, with myself. We are often way too hard on ourselves, expecting perfection and beating ourselves up when we are in “seed” mode. We need sunlight, water, and time in order to bloom, so let’s all try and be patient with ourselves 🥰🙏🏻❤️ #patience #bepatientwithyourself #bepatient #quotestoliveby #hobbylobby #artlover #loveyourself #goalsetting #goaldigger #art #motivation #motivationalquotes
