I know, it’s already Saturday today, which means that this posting of Thursday Inspirations is delayed. Well, the truth is, I wanted to post something last Thursday but I was just not feeling the inspiration that day. Let’s just say I’ve been feeling a bit down lately and wasn’t in the mood to write. However, I found this poem by Helen Steiner Rice earlier today. I was aware of the phrase “this too shall pass” and have been using it before but I didn’t know it was actually a poem. I like it so much and felt that it’s so fitting for what I’m going through right now so let me share it with you.
Each one of us will have moments of sadness or depression. During those times we may feel that the weight of the world is on our shoulders and that there seems to be no end to our pain and sufferings. However, I believe there is always a silver lining to everything. It’s hard to believe that sometimes though, when everything in your life seems to show otherwise. So, it helps to be reminded of the fact that whatever we’re going through right now, it’s not going to last forever. One day, this too shall pass. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that this is just one moment in our life, not the rest of our life.
