This Too Shall Pass

 

Life’s toughest moments may feel endless, but every shadow fades as light returns. Trust in the journey; change is already on its way.

We all face moments when life feels heavy, days when it seems like the weight of our burdens is too much to carry. I’ve had my share of those days, those seasons. There’s a phrase that’s carried me through some of the hardest times: This too shall pass. It’s simple, yet holds a profound truth about life’s impermanence.

When you’re in the midst of hardship, it can feel like the struggle will last forever. I know what it’s like to be in that space, wondering if the pain will ever ease. But slowly, with time, the hurt fades, and you find yourself in a new season — a little different, a little wiser. You realize that every challenge, no matter how difficult, has an end. Just as the joy and beauty of life are fleeting, so too are the hard times.

There’s something deeply comforting about knowing that everything is temporary. Even in moments of profound loss or injustice, we can trust that life has its rhythms, that sorrow and struggle eventually make way for healing and light. It doesn’t erase the difficulty of what we’re facing, but it gives us hope. Every storm runs out of rain, every night turns into dawn.

In moments of struggle, remind yourself: This too shall pass. It may not feel that way now, but hold onto the thought, breathe, and take it one day at a time. One day, you’ll look back, and what feels all-consuming now will be just a memory, a chapter you’ve lived through. And through it all, you’ll find a quiet strength you never knew you had.
