Problems are temporary. You'll get through them.

Albert Ellis, one of the fathers of cognitive behavioural therapy, wrote that we are remarkably good at disturbing ourselves – in other words, the way we think can undermine our own resilience.

Many years ago, something came to mind that I've used all my life, with great success. I was going through one of the hardest times of my life, when it dawned on me, that it's not what [i]happens[/i] to us in life; it's what we do with what we have [i]left[/i], that counts.

You'll surely make it through. We always do. It's there for the lesson. What's a shame, is when we are unteachable.

Never give up, and never waste the gift of life. Make it count.

So true.. and its also true that 90% of the things we worry about will never happen.. And lot of those will be things we cannot do anything to avoid.. Its only those we can alter the course of that are worth focusing our efforts on.
@whowasthatmaskedman Very true. 👍
