A BALANCE IN LIFE
"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
*CARL GUSTAV JUNG*
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we never had a problem or a bad day?
And yet the sunsine after a storm is often brighter and more pleasurable than the sunshine after a string of cloudless days. Happiness that follows a troubled time can be more intense - or at least more appreciated - than happiness is the midst of an easy time.
If I feel like things are not going well right now, I'll think about how good it's going to feel when I get through this - and I will get through this.
