The power of “but”

The power of “but”

Here are some life truths: 

You will fail.

You will disappoint others, and yourself.

You will react badly to stressful situations.

You will not be liked by everyone all the time.

You will not like everyone all the time; and you will not like the world sometimes.

But; and here’s the powerful strategy … 

It’s all OK. It’s all part of being a complex and feeling human in a complex and imperfect world. You will fail but you will keep trying. You will be disappointed but you will keep caring and loving. You will make mistakes, but you will keep learning and growing and improving.

You will feel and experience all these things, and more, and you will keep going despite it all!
