To Pull You Through the Hard Times by Rohan786 2017/12/26 15:31
When you are afraid of change:
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.â€
2. When you are misunderstood or maligned:
“Don’t explain. Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you.â€
3. When you feel disappointed about a failure:
“But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.â€
4. When you are unsure of who your true friends are:
“Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives.â€
5. After a break-up:
“When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive.â€
6. When you grow envious of other people:
“Some people appear to be happy, but they simply don’t give the matter much thought. Others make plans: I’m going to have a husband, a home, two children, a house in the country. As long as they’re busy doing that, they’re like bulls looking for the bullfighter: they react instinctively, they blunder on, with no idea where the target is. They get their car, sometimes they even get a Ferrari, and they think that’s the meaning of life, and they never question it. Yet their eyes betray the sadness that even they don’t know they carry in their soul. Are you happy?â€
7. When you feel overwhelmed by everything in your life:
“Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.â€
8. When it’s time to let go:
“It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.â€
9. When you are afraid to love:
“Love is always new. Regardless of whether we love once, twice, or a dozen times in our life, we always face a brand-new situation. Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. We simply have to accept it, because it is what nourishes our existence. If we reject it, we die of hunger, because we lack the courage to reach out a hand and pluck the fruit from the branches of the tree of life. We have to take love where we find it, even if it means hours, days, weeks of disappointment and sadness. The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.â€
10. When you feel like you can’t hold on anymore:
“It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.â€
11. When your haters hate on you:
“The world is divided into those who understand me and those who don’t. In the case of the latter, I simply leave them to torment themselves trying to gain my sympathy.â€
