Hard Times
~2 mins read
“May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out”
It’ll be over
This too shall pass
Every night has a morning, every winter has a spring
If you are going through hell, keep going
“There will come soft rains”
Be easy on yourself
The pain is neither unbearable nor unending,
as long as you keep in mind its limits,
and don’t magnify them in your imagination
“The mind can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven”
“It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.”
Walk no more in shadows
Face it
Difficulties vanish when faced boldly
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed
Cast aside fear and regret, do the deed at hand
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
“This is not misfortune, to bear this worthily is good fortune”
Do what you can
Action is the antidote to despair.
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something
There’s still some good worth figthing for
Try to appreciate whatever good you can see in this world.
“Courage is found in unlikely places.”
Come out better on the other side
Channel your pain to build strength.
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in
Who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived
or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?
Before the storm
Prepare if you can but worry not
There’ll be hard times but until then, don’t stress for little things
Don’t be unhappy before the crisis comes.
