“Without pain and suffering, we would be nothing”

You are not the car you drive.

We all want the results of our hard work quickly, but time plays its part.  

When everything is uncertain, everything that’s important becomes clear.

We need extra love on our bad days.

Can you treat yourself with softness when things are hard?

Your worries are valid, let your hope be too.

While all of this bad is happening, Know that a lot of good is quietly heading for you.

The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
