Sometimes when life is knocking you down, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We think our situation is hopeless. And we lose our perspective of what a situation means in the bigger picture. We all experience times of hardship, times of instability, and feel that things are never going to get better. Life is a measure of traveling through peaks and valleys. When we are on a peak, we feel unstoppable. But when we are trying to pass through a valley, our journey seems impossible. Especially when those valleys are so low and seem to take much longer to travel through than the peaks. Sometimes it is hard to stay positive and to have hope.
The thing about life is that it is assured that you will have those valleys and peaks along your journey. Life is unpredictable. Life can be hard. But at the same time, when we come out of those valleys, you can look back and understand you had more strength than you realized that you possessed. And maybe going through that valley was not just a trial, but an opportunity to learn a lesson about life. Whether you are currently standing tall on a peak or trudging through a valley, know that this phase of your life is temporary. If you are on a peak, appreciate the view. If you are in a valley, know that this will change. Life is a journey, and your current situation is not your permanent destination.
