Quotes for hard times
1. “However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not as bad as you are. It looks the poorest when you are the richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.” ― Henry David Thoreau
2. “There had been times when he knew, somewhere in him, that he would get used to it, whatever it was because he had learned that some hard things became softer after a very little while.” ― Nick Hornby

If life was easy we would never grow in strength. If we never had trials in our life we would never learn how to have faith. If we never shed a tear we would not know how to let things go, but throughout life we learn new things, meet good and bad people, and have ups and downs. We learn how to keep moving on until we reach that place in our life when we see we have done all we can do, then we accept ourselves and our life and live it to the fullest. Thank you for sharing, God bless you and stay safe.
Yes, you are right. It’s part of the process. This is how we grow up beautifully. You’re welcome, stay safe there too! 😊
