Bits of Encouragement

Sometimes, we worry over problems that are tiny-specs when placed alongside other likely scenarios. We forget sometimes that things could have turned out a lot worse.
For example, your frequently-away-from-home dad could have been the your-father-died-when-I-was-pregnant-with-you dad.
The single mother with the cute 3 year old son could have been the married-for-30-years-without-a-child wife. 
You may consider suicide because you failed an exam,didn't graduate from school for years or had your hand amputated from a disease or an accident. But then, it could have been a lot worse. You could have been a vegetable,strung on an hospital bed,brain damaged.
It is hard to accept the challenges that we constantly face as human beings but do not despair. things could always have been worse off. And, if you hang in there just a bit more, you will get out of that situation stronger and wiser and better equipped to face the next challenge.
