Life is tough, and what they don't tell you is it only gets tougher and tougher as time goes on. We get told things will get better, things will change, good times ahead, it wont always be like this, etc.

Let's be real here. Life does NOT get ANY easier, in fact its likely only going to continue to get increasingly difficult as we accumulate more manifestations throughout our lives. Things may change, yes, but the inevitability of further challenges does not change, just the challenges themselves. Instead of trying to lie to yourself and say "when will this end" or "when will life be good again" - "when will things go back to how they used to be" - instead of that, tell yourself:
"Life is not as difficult as it could be right now, I have many blessings and appreciate everything and everyone that I have in my life. I will adapt and become stronger mentally, emotionally and physically by not allowing the stresses of life take control of who I am, but instead contribute to the motivation behind becoming the person who is able to take life by the horns and accept life's challenges as just that, a part of life. Adaptation and Survival. Good times ahead, better times ahead, yes that's true. There will always be good or better time ahead, because we cannot simply live every single day in a state of pure enjoyment and happiness. However the truth is, until we are able to conjure up the tenacity of our day-to-day lives and live each day knowing what needs to be done, being nice to everyone around you, even if they are having a bad day themselves and may not reciprocate that good energy, we will never see those ever-promised "Good Days Ahead".

Good days are NOW. Tomorrow isn't a guarantee so don't put it off. Don't allow outside energies effect YOUR strong effort of keeping a steady and stable, happy mindset; stresses and all.

So smile, tell yourself 5 things you are truly grateful for in your life, and start overcoming, adapting and becoming bigger and better than the problems you face today. At the end of it all, here are the facts. The challenges you face today may be great;
Trust me I get it!
But your ability to adapt, transform, build and strengthen, your ability to be resilient and never give up;
These are the steps to becoming bigger than your problems, overcoming the previously noted inevitable stresses that come with life in all its forms, and to realizing that "Things will get better soon" now translates to "I AM getting better NOW, and as I get better, so will the rest"

Love you all and I hope that for all of you out there that read this status can take something from it. Its not something you didn't already know, its just something you may have forgotten because its not what we are constantly told.

Trust in yourself and trust in those around you. We are , after all, one in the same. Your battle is my battle, their battle is our battle, we are all in this together and true change doesn't begin until we can change our perception, appreciation, and motivation.
