Someone shared this picture on my Twitter yesterday and I had to share:
Looking back at my life, I can see numerous failures, mishaps and long-hard battles, all of which felt pretty awful at the time;
all of which have caused me to grow;
stronger;
braver;
brighter;
more flexible.
When things aren’t going the way that you wanted them to go and you feel that everything is against you, it’s okay to dislike this experience.
But keep going…
When the heavens open, and the storm ensues… take shelter in the knowledge that this experience might be just what you needed to grow.
Remember this picture. Remember that at some point, the skies will clear and you’ll feel good again. In fact, you might even feel better than you did before.
