Everything will be okay in the end. If things aren’t okay, it isn’t the end. Keep going.
I was reminded of this saying when reading a hopeful study that said 10% of people with major depression were thriving 10 years later.
Thriving, not just living.
Many people think that once depressed, always depressed.
That isn’t the case.
You can thrive. There is hope.
Sometimes your journey is long, we don’t know how long we will be up against this particular challenge. Are we in Act 1, Act 2, the intermission, or is it the final scene?
We just don’t know.
Even if you don’t suffer from depression, there are many ways the axiom can help us in our lives.
You have a teenager who is putting you through the wringer. Well, if things aren’t okay, then you aren’t done yet.
You have a work situation that is making it difficult for you to enter the building with a smile on your face. The work situation is not okay, so the work journey isn’t over yet. You will get there, it just isn’t yet.
It may be time to try something new on your journey to get to a place where things are not only okay, they are great! You are thriving.
If you need some ideas, consider working with a coach to zero in on your breakthrough.
