This Can Be A Time Of Growth

As difficult as this time in your life may be, you will become stronger
If you face each day with patience and hope;
If you accept your weaknesses but concentrate on your strengths;
If you love and care for yourself even when you are angry and confused;
If you can look at doubt and fear but keep your mind on the fact that the struggle is helping you to grow in faith and confidence.
If you gently pick yourself up when you fall and continue walking;
If you keep thinking about all the things you can do well, all the things that bring you joy, and all the people you love who also love you;
If you hold on to your goals even though the way to reach them may be unclear, then…
You can see the troubling times almost as friends who have come to help you grow further then you thought you could;
Friends who are showing you the way to a more courageous heart;
Friends who help you to see that you are more powerful than you ever thought you were;
Friends who help you to see that the hard times are making you more open to accepting life as it comes, and realizing that you have the inner strength and loving nature to deal successfully with any difficult moment.
