You Are Never Alone

In the midst of hard times, it’s easy to look around and see a bunch of people who seem to be doing just fine.  But they’re not.  We’re all struggling in our own way. You better believe it, because it is true that so many of us are fighting exactly the same, or similar battle as you.  We are all in this together. And if we could just be brave enough to open up about it, and talk to each other, we’d realize that we are not alone in feeling lost and alone. So no matter how embarrassed or pathetic you feel about your own situation, know that there are others out there experiencing the same emotions.  When you hear yourself say, “I am all alone,” know it’s just your worried mind trying to sell you a lie.  There’s always someone who can relate to you. You may not be able to immediately talk to them, but they are out there.

If you’re feeling desperate right now, be consoled by the fact that many of us often feel, think and struggle much like you do. We care about many of the things you care about, only just in my own way.  Although some people do not understand us, we understand each other. YOU are never alone! And one of life’s greatest gifts is the fact that life is difficult. Because in dealing with life’s difficulties, we build invaluable strength that enables us to successfully fulfill our deepest and most meaningful purposes. It is precisely because life is difficult that we work hard to rise above the difficulties, to be able to make it great, make a difference and truly matter. When times are tough, we must resolve to be tougher.
