Some situations don't change no matter how much of ourselves we give or sacrifice. That's when we know it's time to stop putting energy into them.

Things look bleak but there's always a chance of hope.

It's not your fault the world is burning. You did everything you could. Even when you may not have realized it, you were working very hard. You are enough and always have been. Don't forget it.

Life is full of chronic problems that don't just "go away". This is why we have to continually honor our pain and engage in the personal practices that help us process it.

Gratitude is not just for good days. Always take a moment to pause, reflect and remember the beautiful moments, people and experiences you've had, especially when you are going through dark times.
