This too shall pass

They say the only constant is change...that could be either a scary thought or a liberating thought.

Some things, we're very comfortable with, and for those things we resist, even defy change.

Then there are situations we find ourselves in that hurt us. When we face those circumstances, we're consumed by it- by the emotion of it. All that exists at that time is our pain. Our present daunts us, we either forget our past or regret it, and our future pales.

At these times, we forget that 'this too shall pass'. Yes, we do need too live in the present, even this present. But remember that the present is dynamic, moving, ever-changing. To be optimistic even in the midst of it (whatever it is), and wait on that wind of change to revive us.
