I used to wish that every day would be wonderful, that every morning I would wakeup refreshed and renewed, not a drop of sadness in my blood.
But now I don’t.
Because I’ve learned that a life without sadness isn’t really life at all. A life without pain, life without a little trouble, life without failure and brokenness and learning how hard it is to lose someone or something-without this, we never realize the worth of what we have.
It’s the toughest moments that help us value the most wonderful things.
It’s the awful moments of life that remind us we’re human, and not going to be perfect. And that’s perfectly alright.
” Life without sadness isn’t really life at all. “
Not every day is going to be a good day. Not every morning will our hearts feel full and brightened by sunshine. Not every single moment will we want to smile, be happy, be in love, and reach out to others. But we can’t beat ourselves up for that.
Pain is inevitable.
But that doesn’t mean we give up hope. We just have to shift our perspective.
"Pain is inevitable"
We must understand that we can’t have perfect days every single day. And this is okay. So don’t lose yourself over a bad day. Don’t hate yourself, or your life, because things aren’t going right. Don’t let yourself be dragged down by negativity. Because bad days are our teachers, our healers, our strength-givers. And they do turn around in time!
