"This Too Shall Pass"

One of my favorite quotes ever. It's one of those quotes that you sort of have to really think about before letting it absorb into your head.

I remember reading it once, and I read it over and over in my head and suddenly it became one of my favorite quotes. I have a picture of this quote written in the sand near the ocean framed in my house and everyday I see it, and its my little bit of motivation to go on about my days.

There's those days when I feel nothing else could go wrong. We all have those days...you run late for work, your boss is on your ass all day, feels like your doing absolutely everything wrong, you leave work and car wont start, dont make it on time to pick up the kids, get home late and kids are driving you insane, realize you have nothing to make dinner...etc...etc. Yes, we all have those days. Sometimes you just have to sit back, take a deep breath and tell yourself "This too shall pass."

And, I promise you, it will. Not too long ago I was having the worst financial problems I have ever faced. I had just got my apartment, a week later I have my son, I wasn't working and was on disabilty leave for my maternity time off and wasn't making close to what I was making while at work. I didn't have enough to pay the rent or to even buy food. I was doing absolutely everything possible to get money to make it another day. Bills kept stacking up, but I had no money to pay them. Then, I get into a car accident and since I had no money, I had been unable to pay my car insurance and so it was cut off. I thought I would never get out of it. I thought I was going to go crazy and I stressed every single day wondering how I would get out of that mess. I told myself 'this too shall pass', but yet it felt that every day it kept getting worst rather than better.

But, believe it or not...it got better. I am now living comfortably as of finances and I am glad that I am not stressing out about money as I was not too long ago.

There may be things in life that we think we will never overcome. Obstacles that face us that we wonder how we will make it, but we will, because before you know it, it will have passed you by. So, hang in there...I know life is rough sometimes but you have to learn to ride those bumpy roads and hang tight and just tell yourself, "This too shall pass."
