It WILL get Better...It ALWAYS does!!


I am inspired to write yet again today after several separate discussions with some friends of mine today.

Three separate friends, three separate circumstances and challenges they are facing that are causing them stress, fear, frustration and rapidly approaching despair!

I must stress that NO MATTER how dark things get, no matter how dire situations appear to be in the moment, and no matter how alone you feel - IT WILL GET BETTER and YOU WILL BE OK!!

Trust me - this is a fact!!

The only thing you can do in any difficult and challenging period is the following:

1. DO NOT LET NEGATIVE THOUGHTS COMPOUND!!

Allowing your fears and negative thoughts to pile up, compound, and swarm your mind will only serve to overwhelm and bury you!

FIGHT THESE THOUGHTS!! ONE AT A TIME!

YOU are in charge of your thoughts - no one else! So recapture control and remember that everything WILL BE OK!

2. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!!!

There is always someone there for you! No one is perfectly happy and perfectly secure - despite outward appearances! So utilize your friends and family for strength! They are there for you - and all you need is a morsel of support to pull yourself back up above water! Often it is someone you least suspect that will be there for you and HELP YOU out of this TEMPORARY hole!

3. This too SHALL PASS!

Nothing is permanent - even if this is the worst situation you have ever experienced and you tell yourself "THERE IS NO WAY THIS WILL PASS" - IT WILL PASS! Tell yourself over and over again --- afterall, you beat yourself up all the time about being wrong about things - so why do you INSIST you are right this time about the situation being "permanent"

4. Focus on HOPE and ACT!

I do not care what your situation - All I advise, regardless of where you are, is to NEVER GIVE UP HOPE!! NEVER Roll over and surrender to your negative thoughts!! FIGHT and Keep your EYES on the next steps you MUST take to keep traveling on this wonderful (and often challenging) journey called LIFE!

Rich poor alone married children single fat skinny sad happy depressed frustrated - I don't care which - YOU CONTROL your destiny and CAN CHANGE EVERY aspect of your life TODAY!!

Do NOT LOSE HOPE - DO NOT roll over and give in - PEOPLE believe in YOU - Now it is YOUR TURN!!!! Why wouldn't you when others see so much promise in you? Who are YOU to just give up and quit?? We NEED you to FIGHT!!!

Step back from the situation - use your friends and family to gather ANY positives you can and then COMPOUND those ideas -- not the present situation!!

The future is BRIGHT -- EVEN if you fail to believe it now!!

Stay Stong and Fight!!
I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!
