And This Too Shall Pass

If anything can give us solace in times of grief or any hardship, its these five golden words ‘and this too shall pass’. For these words give us hope and a glimpse of a time beyond now; when all this we are going through right now will not be anymore. These words are the balm that ease the sting of now and thicken our resolve to get through now as little scathed as possible.

It is imperative to keep these five words on the forefront of our perspective no matter what we are going through and however hard it is to remember them. Because without them, we are in grave danger of sinking deeper into despair than is really necessary! Repeat them often to your children growing up whenever they are troubled so that these five words stick in their subconscious, ready to resurface later in adult life whenever they are in another scrap or yet more despair.

And what about when times are good and happy and exciting?

These very five words “And this too shall pass” heighten our senses and make us appreciate and experience now with abandon, so when now and all its happy tidings do pass, we have sweet memories strongly imprinted in our mind, heart and soul!

That’s the beauty of time, it keeps on moving.
