You are not alone!
If you are feeling desperate, anxious or
plain fearful of what’s going to
happen in the future to you,
then you are not alone
If things are not happening
the way you want and whatever
you have built is crumbling apart,
then you are not alone
If you had planned for things
to happen in a certain way and
everything seems to go down and south,
then you are not alone
If the people you trusted
have betrayed you or
the relationships you cherish
are falling apart,
then you are not alone
If the business you built was
the toast of the town and today
it’s on the verge of closing down,
then you are not alone
If the exams which you were preparing for
and now you are feeling
the crushing weight of expectations and
you just want to give up,
then you are not alone
If it’s been raining for a while and
there has been no sunshine for days and
you are tired of feeling blue,
then you are not alone
THIS TOO SHALL PASS
Vast majority of people live lives of quiet desperation
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Over many hundreds of years,
people have stared at the cliff,
just like you
and seen darkness
And yet come back,
to live another day and
then another and
then thrive and
experience joy, fulfilment, success, peace
However, grim it looks right now,
It shall pass
Because the dharma,
the purpose of nature and
life is change

Today,
If you feel low or desperate
Tell yourself
IT SHALL PASS
