GRACE FOR THE GRIND 💆🏽♀️
We move… even when the movement feels too slow. 💅🏾
“Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar,” the Holy Book says.
And what belongs to “Caesar” right now is giving flowers to every single person out there hustling, striving, and showing up. I see your efforts. I meannnn, you really go all out to make things happen.
We keep pushing, hoping things will get better, and in that spirit, I celebrate you today. 🌸
When I say everyone, I mean it — nobody is left out.
The market woman who wakes at 2 a.m. to prepare her home, so she could go set up her stall by 6 a.m., returns at 9 p.m., and still rises at 2 a.m. the next day — rinsing and repeating, juggling family, other jobs, and endless chores.
The lad sleeping under the bridge everyday, happy to lie on a sack in a corner, even if that means beating himself all night as he attempts to swat mosquitoes, yet somehow gathering strength to face another day.
The content creator setting up tripod, doing multiple takes, spending hours only to cut it all down to a 45-second video. They pour so much time and creativity into their craft.
The blogger researching (so they'd make sure what is written is the truth and is also relatable), writing, editing, proofreading and posting with one eye closed, praying that someone out there will find value in their words.
The trader who barely makes profit, but still rises early to put their all into selling, like they’ve been sprinkled with some “extra energy.”
The hawker darting through traffic, sweating, risking everything just to get their products to travellers — crossing roads like they have ten lives.
The old cab driver (maybe someone's great-grandfather) who should be resting, but still works long hours to put food on the table.
Even the 6-year-old child already searching for little ways to work and earn.
Different people. Different ages. Different paths. Yet one thing unites us all: the grind, the hustle, the push to become better versions of ourselves.
So here’s my word to you: be kind to yourself, and to others. Extend grace to People. Don’t ever think you’re the only one struggling. Behind every face you see is a story of resilience, hard work, and whispered prayers.
Yes, everything takes effort — but beyond it all, may the Lord see your hustle and bless it in the best way possible. Amen.
It's how this is very relatable. I can see through it, breathe through its concept and carry the pain of inconsistency.
I hope to be better after hearing a well defined analogy of the ones I consider less than me.
Gracias, mi love.❤️
Humm…this life sha,May God crown our efforts.
