The truth of the matter is that everyone has problems. You're not the only one:
-To lose sleep worrying about a friend.
-To have trouble picking yourself up after someone lets you down.
-To feel like less than normal because someone didn’t love you enough to stay with you.
-To be afraid to try something new for fear you’ll fail and face ridicule.
None of this means you’re dysfunctional, crazy or mentally unstable. It just means you’re human and that you need a little time to get things together. You are not alone. No matter how embarrassed or pathetic you feel about your own situation, there are others out there experiencing the same emotions. When you hear yourself say, “I am all alone,” it is your mind trying to sell you a lie.
Remember, you still have a lot to be thankful for. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of brave people like you who are overcoming it. Sometimes you have to forget what’s happened yesterday, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what’s coming next. Good or bad truthfully it's better than what most people experience around the world.
Someone said, “Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.” Even when times are tough, it’s always important to keep things in perspective. It's that perspective that helps you to realize:
-You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night.
-You didn’t go to sleep outside.
-You had a choice of what clothes to wear this morning.
-You didn’t spend a minute in fear.
-You have access to clean drinking water.
-You have access to medical care.
-You have access to the Internet.
-You can read.
To many people around the world you are incredibly wealthy with just what you posess, so remember to be grateful for all the things you do have. Yes life is hard, but by faith it will get better.
