7 Things to Remember When Everything Goes Wrong

 Here are a few reminders to help motivate you when you need it most:

1. Pain is part of growing. Sometimes life closes doors because it's time to move forward. And that's a good thing because we often won't move unless circumstances force us to. When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes things take time. Stay patient and stay positive. 
2. Everything in life is temporary. Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light - you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won't. Nothing lasts forever. 
3. Worrying and complaining changes nothing. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. It's always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. It's not over if you've lost; it's over when you do nothing but complain about it. Take action instead. Make a change and never look back. 
4. Your scars are symbols of your strength. Don't ever be ashamed of the scars life has left you with. A scar means the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. 
5. Every little struggle is a step forward. In life, patience is not about waiting; it's the ability to keep a good attitude while working hard on your dreams, knowing that the work is worth it. So if you're going to try, put in the time and go all the way. Everything else is a test of your determination, of how much you really want it. 
6. Other people's negativity is not your problem. Be positive when negativity surrounds you. Smile when others try to bring you down. It's an easy way to maintain your enthusiasm and focus. When other people treat you poorly, keep being you. Don't ever let someone else's bitterness change the person you are. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them. 
7. What's meant to be will eventually, BE. True strength comes when you have so much to cry and complain about, but you prefer to smile and appreciate your life instead. There are blessings hidden in every struggle you face, but you have to be willing to open your heart and mind to see them. At some point you have to let go and let what's meant to be, BE.
