When there are dead ends there are also U-turns, and if we don’t panic, bridges can appear – we just need to trust that there is a way. And there is always a way.
-- Arianna Huffington, “On Becoming Fearless”

Where there is will, there’s a way. If you fell in, you can climb back out. If you fell down, you can get back up. If your back is against the wall, slide attentively along the wall until you find the opening that’ll get you on the other, clearer side.

Some days can be pure hell, and sometimes those days turn into weeks, months, and years at a time, so much so we begin to believe our lives were made for misery. But God did not place you here to live a life of sorrow and misfortune. Jesus did not come to earth for you to suffer and remain in distress. The ancestors didn’t toil this earth for you to unhappy or grief-stricken, and your babies and the babies to come don’t want to – should not have to – wallow in a path of gloom and hopelessness. Turn it around. Life isn’t meant to be that way.
