Life is tough. Bad things happen so often, you often wonder what happened to your former sense of optimism. Or even if you were justified in being optimistic in the first place.
Kids go astray, bosses get on your nerves, husbands and wives fall apart and so it goes. That's just life.
You do the best you can - you hang on, you think positive, you still find something to laugh about and you live to fight another day. But you still wonder...is it all worth it?
Just remember when you feel that way - IT IS. Living life is worth it, because what's the alternative? To give up? To fade into the shadows? To jump off a bridge some place? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Because, you know what? You've been here before. You've experienced tough times and got through them before. And not only did you SURVIVE, you THRIVED. Remember, remember, remember - IT'S ALL GOING TO WORK OUT IN THE END.
Though tomorrow seems dim and today is unpleasant, IT'S ALL GOING TO WORK OUT IN THE END. It always has and it always will. On the darkest days and seasons which you thought would never end - IT ALL WORKED OUT. When you thought you wouldn't be able to afford your house, keep your job or save your marriage - IT ALL WORKED OUT. Maybe not the way you thought or hoped it would, but IT ALL WORKED OUT.
And this will, too.
