There's a confession I always make to myself whenever I'm in a big mess. I always tell myself this: "Calm down, this won't be the end of you. The good times are yet to come."

Those words work like magic because whenever I say them to myself, a kind of soothing relief settles upon me.

No matter what you may be going through at the moment, it will pass with time. Don't let it weigh you down. Don't be troubled because the pain you're feeling now cannot compare to the joy that is coming.
