This Too Shall Pass

This, among many others,
was one of my mother's favorite sayings.
She'd use this for just about every situation she came upon.
I've written about it before,
but I believe it is worth bringing up again.


It doesn't matter what you're dealing with.
It doesn't matter how painful it is,
how devastating it is,
how hurtful it is,
how much of a setback it might be . . .
This Too Shall Pass.


Pain is only temporary.
Character and tenacity are permanent.
There may be scars,
but they remind you of your strength.
Mistrust may come,
but this only makes you smarter.
This Too Shall Pass.


Chin Up.
Knees Down.
This Too Shall Pass.
