Everything is going to be okay, my aunt used to say. Such a sweet spirit, such a sweet smile, and it seemed like she didn't let very much bother her. Life wasn't easy, but she knew it was going to be okay.
Those words resound in my head, just the way she said them, when I start to let my feathers get ruffled by life's many inconveniences, tribulations, and stabs. There are so many things that I find it easy to get upset about---not being more successful in a career, not investing more in relationships with family & friends, not being financially peaceful (yet...you just wait, I'll get there), car troubles, and non-achievement of goals. Often it seems like whatever I try to do, life throws a wrench in it before I have a chance to be successful with it.
Everything is going to be okay.
It's hard to stay strong, to keep believing in myself when I see so many obstacles. I overlook my triumphs, I see obstacles as bigger than they are, and I don't take time to count my blessings. But when all is said and done, if I have lived a life of love and kept my priorities in order, it's okay that I never became the big star of whatever I hoped for because I've got family & friends that I love and who love me so much.
Everything is going to be okay.
