Dearest Fellow High-Achiever,
I admire your passion to seek
I appreciate your tenacity to never give up
I love your belief in the good
And your desire for more
Your courage is self-evident
Your effort is appreciated
Your commitment to excellence
Is a blessing in itself
But Dearest High-Achiever
Always remember this
As you commit to your Greatness
Keep these truths in your heart
You are already whole
You are already complete
You are already loved
Based on who you already are
Your effort is not about proving
Your life is not a test
Your life is a gift to be honored
And enjoyed
Know that your worth comes from within
And that your work is a natural extension
Of who you already are
You, your love in action
Thank you, Jennifer. Beautiful.

I feel so grateful for this gracious gift of your poetry.
My close friends tell me I can be so hard on myself. It’s something I’m now aware of and need to move into more grace for myself.
thanks for this 🙂
Hi Court! Yes, I wrote this poem from personal experience. I tend to be overly critical of myself too. But I see now that my self-critical nature represents my deeper desire to want to always help improve the situation. The trick is to see what I can improve without judging or attacking myself. The judgement is what has caused me pain. So now, I am more mindful of my inner self-critic. When I hear that negative voice in my head, I thank her for her feedback and make the conscious decision in that moment to be good to myself. It’s def a process. Sending you so much love and grace on your journey! <3
Beautiful, Jennifer! This spoke right to me and was just what I needed to hear (although I didn’t know it!).
Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed my poem, Anne! I felt called to write it last night, so I’m very happy that it reached the right people! xo
Jennifer. Thanks for the beautiful words and thoughts.
You’re so welcome, Tonya! I’m so happy you connected with my words. I hope you’ve been well! <3
