Comfort

I feel compelled to write a little bit of encouragement to you. I know that the situation you’re in right now is tough. And you’re wanting life to pause a little so you can catch your breath, analyze what’s happening, and gain a little closure. Unfortunately, we have no control over time, and cannot bend it to our will like that. As a matter of fact, these situations hit our life and we have little control over anything. It’s not coincidence that lately I’ve been thinking about a certain quote in my head, something that I think all people could benefit from hearing. You’re the first person I’m going to try it out on. Here it is:

‘It is not our lot in life to comprehend the downfalls that beset us. It is only to process them, and to work through them for a better tomorrow. When we stop to judge our situations, we cease all forward motion. Live in the moment, while looking for tomorrow, but always remember your past.’

Humans are amazing creatures, with more abilities than we even realize. You have the strength to move on through this, and the wisdom to make it a positive influence on your life. That is the most valuable lesson of all. Learning to bend a painful blow to our soul into something that gives us comfort. You can get through this. You will love, and be loved again, by many more sources in your lifetime. Don’t allow this frustration and anguish to extinguish your internal light. You’re beautiful on the inside and out, and you shine all of the time. Don’t lose you while dealing with them. It is never worth it to lose ourselves because of the actions of someone else. Never. Smile today, and tomorrow, and every day after that. Smile because you breathe, and smile because you eat, and smile because even though it is difficult now, you still have the gift of life, a gift that is never wise to waste.
