A massage therapist might walk away thinking, “That was the worst session I’ve ever done.”
Meanwhile the client gets off the table saying, “That was the best massage I’ve ever had.”
A Reiki practitioner might feel their energy is off or their flow is shaky.
Yet their client might whisper, “I finally cried for the first time in months.”
A card reader might feel disconnected, unsure if their words are landing.
But the person sitting across from them might leave with a sense of clarity they’ve been searching for.
We all carry our own inner judgments… the doubts, the self-criticism, the anxiety that convinces us we aren’t enough. But the impact we make in someone else’s life doesn’t always match the stories we tell ourselves.
Sometimes the healing we offer doesn’t look or feel perfect from our side.
Sometimes our work feels messy, uncertain, or “off.”
And yet it still becomes exactly what someone needed.
Doing something — showing up, offering what we can, being present — is almost always more powerful than doing nothing out of fear or self-doubt.
Not everything we feel tells the full truth.
And not everything we experience is what it seems in the moment.
Often, the meaning becomes clear only when we see the impact reflected back through someone else.
Your work reaches farther than your worries do.
