How do we respond when it seems our suffering is endless?

Are we stopping our ability to connect with others?

It’s easy to sit in agony during periods of loneliness but we can use our lonely times to inspire ourself and love others.

It’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when we feel completely defeated and lost. But, troubles do not have to define us.

When we make grave mistakes, we want the pain to end. Though suffering is arduous, we can recover and persevere past the struggle.

Never assume societal norms are the defining standards for how we should determine our self-worth

Do our exclamation of our troubles bring benefits to others?

How can we have drive and ambition when we're lonely?

When things seem to turn around, we’re often leery of the next storm that comes our way. Unfortunately, that stops us from being grateful for surviving the last storm.

Are we giving with the purest intentions? Are we willing to give without the expectation of praise or a reward?
