Pain

Sometimes God allows doors to close because it’s time to move forward.  And that’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless circumstances force us to.  When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. 

-Move on from what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you. 

-Just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing. 

-Every great success requires some type of worthy struggle to get there. 

-Good things take time. 

-Stay patient and stay positive. 

-Everything is going to come together; maybe not immediately, but eventually.

Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you.  When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.
