The Good, the Bad, and Everything In Between

~~And the smile that is worth the praises of the earth is the smile that shines through tears.~~  Ella Wheeler Wilcox

 

We make mistakes in life.  We fail at endeavors.  We fall.  Of course we do!  It's called being human.  But we also also pick ourselves up.  We continue on.  We persevere.

For every negative in life, there is a positive.  For every mistake, there is a lesson learned.  For every heartbreaking moment, there is peace in healing.

Only through getting through those tough times can we grow.  Challenges are what make us strong, wise, and courageous.

So rather than get discouraged, find those things that will help you persevere.  Remind yourself that you deserve good things.  Remind yourself that you will persevere.  Remind yourself that a fall doesn't mean you can't get back up.

Cry if you need to.  Sometimes it heals.  Ask for a hug.  Ask for a kind word.  Don't feel lost or alone.  We need each other from time to time.

Most of all, know that the sun will come out again.  Life doesn't stop but the negatives can always blossom into positives.  You just have to remind yourself they can. 

I believe in positives.  I believe in hope and faith and all things good.  It doesn't mean I don't fail or I don't go through bad times.  It just means that I know they will end and sunshine will warm me again.

Have a lovely, sweet, wonderful day!!!

Sheri
