This problem doesn’t define you
Whatever it is you’re dealing with right now, whatever challenge you’re facing, whatever problem is keeping you up at night, please remember these three things:
First, the challenge is not the only thing in your life, even if at moments it feels like it. Expand your perspective and look for the other parts of your life, which can give you strength and support to tackle the challenge.
Second, it isn’t going to last forever. Right now, it is a part of your current experience. It will pass, even if it doesn’t feel like that right now.
And third, it doesn’t define you as a person. You are so much more than whatever you’re facing. You are bigger than any problem in your life. It is not you, and you are not it. In creating some distance between you and it, it becomes more possible put the problem in a greater perspective, remember that it too will pass, and solve it by taking responsibility for what’s in your control and letting go of what is not.
