Determined thoughts and chins up

Hmm... What to write about today... How about this?

A lot of negative situations are bound to come our way, resulting in disbelief, grief, pain and disappointment. At the time, such difficulties feel insurmountable and seem to last forever. It might feel difficult, but we need to recognise that the difficulties we face are like passing clouds. These clouds gather around us all at times, and are temporary - sooner or later they will fade away. Determined thoughts disperse clouds of negative situations.  And understanding that no problem lasts forever will help us develop the determination we need to work on our own lives and create positivity and love around us. We will then be able to face any situation with ease.

​And as my wise sister says (borrowed, I think, from the Sufi poets): "This, too, shall pass".
