Do not drown in your feelings of in-completion, 

but instead find peace in your journey.

Often our thoughts become overwhelming and can overshadow the day. The idea that we aren't where we want to be in life, or the idea that the things we have done aren't a reflection of our heart. The idea of who we want to be is not always the person we show the world. Disappointment is normal, but dwelling on the past will only bring you sorrow. It is important to remember what we have done so that we do not repeat those same mistakes. However  it is also important to understand that all you need is one day. You can wake up and become the type of person you want to be by just being that person. People may not believe you, and they may not have faith in your growth. You are the only one who can determine who you are. Everyone else will just have to figure it out own their own.  Drown out the noise of a negative past with new positive actions.

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. 

So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. 

 And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
 

― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons
