The truth is, the only thing harder on our souls than things going bad, is things going good.

Disappointment has a unique ability to knock us down because of its relationship to hope. Disappointment is to hope what crashing is to an airplane. The higher the hope, the more devastating it is when that hope is disappointed.

There are times when we have to choose between good circumstances and good character, because one going up means the other goes down.

Some people are just more buoyant in how they live their lives too. The more life presses down on them, the higher they seem to rise. Bad things happen, but they end up in a good place. Life is spiraling downward…and they’re spiraling upward!
