Everything Is Going to Be Okay

"It happens in life too. I can't list the number of times I thought life was completely over, that I had ruined everything and was going to end up living in a box under a bridge...

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time, sit down with myself and explain things were going to be okay, that everybody loses ground sometimes and it doesn't mean anything. It's the way life works. This is hard to understand in the moment. You get to thinking about the girl/guy who rejected you, the job you got fired from, the test you failed, and you lose sight of the big picture--- the fact that life has a beautiful way of remaking itself every few weeks. The things that matter right now aren't going to matter a month from now, a year from now."

Donald Miller, To Own A Dragon, p. 126
