Life Can Change In A Moment, And That’s The Whole Point

Life will surprise you.

If there’s anything I’ve learned lately, it’s that life is full of surprises — both the good kind and the not-so-good kind.

You can be having the best year of your life, and then it can throw you the biggest curveball you’ve ever encountered.

Or it can be quite the opposite — you can be going through a really difficult season, and suddenly life throws something your way that reminds you to keep going.

My point is this: whatever you’re going through right now is only temporary.

If life feels heavy right now, remember that at any moment, that can change.

And if things are going your way, take a moment to appreciate this time and the way you feel.

Because when you think about it, there really is no way to know what’s ahead — both the good and the bad.

So take each day as it comes.
