All Sickness Ain't Death!
My wife's great Aunt Bay used to say this when things got bad. I never met Aunt Bay but I know what she meant. Just because things go wrong today does not mean they will be wrong tomorrow. As you go throughout your life there will be a lot of times when a string of negative events make you think that your life is "sick". You know the feeling when you got up late for work, you were stuck in traffic, you messed up on that big presentation, your significant other tells you he/she does not know whether is going to work, when you have more month than money(of course all of this happens on the same day!); All of these things are types of "sickness" that we deal with in life.
All Sickness Ain't Death! All of these things we deal with come to pass and we are stronger on the other side. Just like with real sickness our body builds up an immune system, so to do our minds and spirits build up an emotional immune system to handle life's negative events. No matter what the cause is, if the same life event happens again, our minds are able to handle it better the 2nd and/or 3rd time around. In fact, we are not only able to handle it, we are stronger the next time the same event happens.
So the next time you are having one of those days, months, years... Remember what Aunt Bay used to say, "All Sickness Ain't Death!"
God Bless!
