It’s A Wonderful Life And The Lessons It Can Teach Us
It’s Never Hopeless
Merry Christmas! Even though the rest of the life lessons will be gleaned from the cinematic gem that is It’s A Wonderful Life I do have a fact of the day. My fact/experience is that when you have a terrible, rock bottom day you almost always feel better the next day. Not happy. Not “cured”. Just better. Even by half a per cent. A good rest will speed the healing even more. This leads us on to:
Life Lesson 1
If you’re feeling like you might have reached the end of the road please wait till the next day. I get it. Life can feel bleak. Hopeless. You can feel like you’re living in constant blackness. I understand feeling like there’s no way out. No way to be happy. You feel like you’ve done everything. Tried everything. Nothing changes. If that’s true might as well check out, right?
Please just give yourself until the next day. Especially if it’s night time because things always feel worse at night. Wait till daylight arrives and see how you feel. Try to sleep until then. It is amazing how much better you can feel after some quality sleep. I really hope you’ll feel better. That you’ll have improved enough to feel like there might be a sliver of hope after all.
