I learned a valuable life lesson from this balloon!!👇🏻
Let me start off by saying, this balloon has been a staple piece of decor in our living room for about a month (oh the wonders of mylar balloons), and we’ve been waiting to see when it would finally begin to lose its UMPH!
Literally over night, it went from a fully inflated heart tied tight to a silver ribbon, to a wrinkled replica that no longer needed a string as it stood no more than a foot off the ground!
As I watched Selah play with her “honey” (as a rather comical and elaborate story unfolded), I began thinking, how many times can I relate with this balloon!
Being an entrepreneur building a business from the ground up has MANY highs and lows! One day you feel strong, confident, fully capable and motivated! The next day you begin to see your flaws, your weaknesses, the ways other women are killing it and you feel like you’re spinning your wheels with minimal results!
It wasn’t until I watched my daughter pick up the heart that now looked like a sad excuse for a balloon! She said, “it’s ok honey, I believe in you!” And gave it the BIGGEST squeeze!!
Immediately the balloon fill with all of the air it had inside of it and filled out the wrinkled places to become a beautiful fat heart again!
Sometimes all we need is a little love! Someone to come give us a big squeeze and say, “I believe in you”!
If you’re reading this and feeling deflated, let me be that voice today! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!💖
And since you know you might feel deflated later on in your journey, save this post to read again!…or better yet, share with a friend!
Because we all need to be re-inflated from time to time!
