Life is grand except when it's not. And when life is not grand, it takes on a reality of its own. I have lived through some "not grand" times and have learned one very important thing in the process: I can live through anything.
How is this important? Why do I want to share this with the world? Because it's as true for you or the next person you talk to as it is for me. The reason this phrase can help through the "not grand" times is because it is a "grand" saying when spoken or thought or read five separate times. No, it's not a magic phrase but it can be miraculous.
I can live through anything.
I can live through anything.
I can live through anything.
I can live through anything.
I can live through anything.
Put the emphasis on the highlighted word and say those sentences aloud. Yell them to the walls or the sky. Make them your own.
I often wish I could tell the world about this phrase. When I hear of lives shortened by despair or overdoses or depression, I wish the person could have spoken to me before he or she made such an irrevocable decision.
St John says in his Gospel, Chapter 8 Verse 12: Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. And again in Chapter 14 Verse 6: Jesus saith to him (us, you and me): I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh to the Father but by Me.
During your "dark night of the soul" when there seems to be no light at the end of your tunnel due to the curves life has thrown at you, do not lose hope. You can live through anything and there is both light and Light at the end of your tunnel.
