Change IS guaranteed.
Trouble IS sure to come.
We ALL go through rough times, hard trials AND great things.
I remember reading and NEEDING this! I printed and reread again and again. I believe that’s why we have the Bible…to read it over and over and yes over again.
“The longer I love, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church….a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.” Charles R. Swindoll
It's not really about me... 
Wow! That was profound, and a little painful, too. I think I’ve truly believed this for a long time, but taking it to heart and making it part of my daily life is another thing entirely. It’s true…I am in charge of my attitude. No one else is, nor can they be.
