Things Get Over

What if you realized that things get over?

My daughter Terra said this once. One year, Terra faced strep throat, scarlet fever, an inguinal hernia, and some other maladies. Upon visiting the physician for one of these issues later in the year, the doctor said, “This has been a rough year for you, hasn’t it?” In her early and unbiased pre-teenage wisdom, Terra said “That’s okay. Things get over.”

When things are not going your way, relax. Things get over. When everything is going perfect for you, relax again. Things get over. These things shall pass.

Pay attention to the core instead. Figure out who’s really watching all these things as they come and go. That’s the one thing that stays constant.

Every storm has to run out of rain at some point, as Maya Angelou said. This too, shall pass!
