There’s two phrases I live by:
1. “Prepare for the worst, hope for the best” it’s something my father has said to me ever since I can remember anything at all. He says we must always be aware of the possibility of error and be prepared for it however we should never stop believing in the possibility of success and always stay hopeful!
2. “this too shall pass” it’s just a good way of remembering that what now can seem like the end of the world will end up feeling just like a medium sized problem in a few months and eventually it will feel like nothing in a few years. All problems are valid problems however you must remember that time can heal all wounds.

my dad has been saying this to us since we were kids. as an adult I appreciate it more and more because it’s protected me from creating unrealistic expectations for my life. managing expectations will protect you from a lot of disappointment in this life.

it‘s a cliche for sure, but in recent years i have become a big believer in every event, good or bad, having some sort of purpose, whether it be a big or little one. i guess this helps me to stay content in the moment because it reminds me that, “hey! i know you might be upset about this thing right now, but it’ll work out. you just have to let it.” i am a big time worrier, and i always want to control situations as much as i can, but i have found that if i just let them play out, they’ll go the way they were meant to. (and if it’s not in a good way, at least it’s a good story).
and, honestly, it helps me just remembering what a miracle it is to be alive at all; to have the blessing of living at the same time as the people i love; to feel the sun shine on my face in that very moment. we are so small in the grand scheme of things, but here we are!!! how wonderful is that!!!
it’s like in ”vienna”: “slow down, you’re doing fine, you can’t be everything you wanna be before your time.”

Nothing bad lasts forever. Nothing good lasts forever. A great reminder to persevere through hard times, and relish in the good.

Seriously it’s like my favorite part to finish the ice cream and then find a little treat at the end. Whoever thought of adding that made my life more fun!
