No problem is eternal.* Do you remember the problem that you worried about ten years ago? Five? Or even last year on this date? Probably not.

You don’t remember because life passes by, and problems do too. Old problems give way to new ones. Some come back, others persist for a little while longer, but everything passes eventually. That’s how it will be with the problems you’re facing today.

That’s why you can have hope. You can be sure that a couple of days from now, weeks or months, the fights that you’re going through will be a vague memories.

Clearly, this doesn’t mean that you should cross your arms and simply wait for your problems to resolve themselves with time. You need to fight, form winning strategies, organize yourself, take courageous attitudes, focus on the solution. But the beginning of all this is to hope that one day all of these efforts will be rewarded with the end of that problem.

To live in despair, anxiety of the future, and insecurity of what tomorrow will bring, will simply rob you of the energy you so need today.

Contemplate on one thing: no problem is eternal.

So cheer up. Lift up your head. You’ll overcome.
