If I think back to all the times, I felt sad, discouraged or felt that nothing was going right, I would have more bad memories and tears than I could count.
But is this specific to me? No – not at all. We all have ups and downs in life and we must keep going. But how - you may ask? How can I get beyond that hurt, that betrayal or that disappointment when my whole world has just collapsed?
The human spirit is resilient and the struggles and hard knocks in life will make you more experienced and able to handle anything that comes your way! You have to believe.
You will survive and with persistence emerge victorious. The best things in life come through determination and persistence.
So whether you’ve just had another setback chasing your dreams, been rejected or betrayed by someone you care about, faced tragedy, or you’re just feeling drained from countless setbacks and disappointments on this journey we call life, remember that things will get better.
