Sometimes, you can't see past your pain

Sometimes, you can't see past your pain

I know, as I speak from experience, that sometimes when you are in pain, you can't see past the pain. 

You are stuck in the storm, and you don't think it will ever be over. You just want the pain to end. You can't see tomorrow or next week or next year. You feel like this is where your life is going to stay. In this painful place with no hope. 

I get it, I've been there. I know that feeling all too well. But I beg you to hold on to look at all you should be grateful for. It was hard for me at first, so I started small.  Be grateful for the roof over your head, your children, food on your table, a job, or a car. If you have some friends or some family, then you are blessed. Just remember that the storms never stay, and the sun eventually always  comes out. 

But if you give in, or if you check out, you will never know the amazing things, God or whatever you believe in has for you. 

You must believe, you must hold on because if life has taught me anything it is it can all change in an instant. It can change in a bad way, and it can also change in incredible ways. Things that you wished for but never thought could happen can happen..

but if you give up, you'll never be able to see them.

So today, my friends remember this, one of my favorite quotes from my mom, it was her anthem.

This too shall pass…

Just know that if life is going well, then this too shall pass. And when life is so hard where you think you can't go on… keep repeating. This, too, shall pass and just hold on because soon you'll be able to see past your pain.

"Be the change you want to see,"
