Tough times
+++++++++++++++++++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every setback is also an opportunity to recover. Every challenge is also a chance to become stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve been successfully dealing with difficult, unexpected developments your whole life. It’s a skill you’ll continue to improve upon, and one that always serves you well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The path forward is never perfectly straight and unhindered. Its twists and turns give life richness, novelty, and unique character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your life has value precisely because it comes at a cost. Each day, each new situation, enables you to bear the cost and add to the value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ve encountered doubts, fears, and challenges before, and successfully worked your way through them. When you come upon them again, remember how effectively you can do what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the tough times of life are the seeds of its great beauty, joy and fulfillment. Nourish those seeds well, and reap the rewards that surely will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
