Wisdom Wednesday

" We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreparably broken."

 


I figured I might as well start my blog off with a bit of hope by using my all time favorite quote. Written by John Green in the novel Looking for Alaska, it seems to always help me find a light at the end of the tunnel.

I know, I know, how cliché, another John Green quote. But in y mind this quote is like a handbook for life. This one simple sentence carries so much weight as you realize that there has never been a time where someone has not been able to put themselves back together. This realization resonates with me because it forces me to try and solve my problems and helps kick the woe is me, down trodden, attitude. There will never be a point in your life when you cannot take action to help turn your situation around. You should never abandon hope because in all reality it is impossible for hope to be lost. Instead, many times we neglect hope and choose to wallow in self pity simply because it requires less effort.  Guilty as charge.

In the End, Everything has the opportunity to improve, it all depends on your willingness to change your circumstances.
