There will come a time in your life when, for no apparent reason, things just won’t go the way you plan.

No matter how hard you try, you just can’t find a way to get back on the correct path. You wonder if life is trying to play a cruel trick on you. You name it, and it goes wrong. Your car won’t start, your finances are bad and your relationships are falling apart. You don’t know what to do. It seems like a tunnel of darkness that will never end.

During this time, the easy choice would be to accept your fate and stop fighting for change. You put your head down in defeat and give up. But don’t take the easy road. Instead of giving up, keep your faith and hope alive. You must remain positive. Remember that this is not your final destination. You are simply going through a rough patch, and, thankfully, it will end in due time. It doesn’t seem like it right now, but this rough patch is meant to teach you something. You will learn from it. More importantly, it will direct you to the path you are meant to be on.
