Why does life have to be that way? I don’t know, and neither do you. It’s just like that. So learn to make friends with your troubles- make them your teachers, instead your tormentors. Or imagine they’re rescuing you, pointing you in a different direction, to what’s truly meant for you.

Do you know how many times you will “ruin your life “ or “ruin your career”? Quite a few. Oops you did it again.

God’s feelings for us have nothing to do with our feelings towards him.

I’ve always felt believing in God isn’t really the hard part; believing he is good and actively engaged in our lives and the world in the face of so much pain- that is the hard part.

Life is a never ending fight, and you’ve got to keep taking the punches getting back on your feet.

When you win, it feels so good you rarely stop to really think about why or how you won. Yet when you lose, you agonize over why you lost, and if you’re smart, you learn the bitter yet vital lessons from defeat that stop you losing next time.

I suspect the main reason is that they don’t believe or trust the experts telling them not to.
