I needed this very badly.. Thanks a ton for all the wonderful words of encouragement you are giving others. Thanks for sharing your blessings.. I have a diary where I write all the lines and words that mean a lot to me from your posts… I keep reading them when I am low and when I feel I need some encouragement to keep going..
I love them all but #8 is the one I needed most and wrote the entire thing in my diary so that I can read everyday to help me move in the positive direction…
THANKS ,THANKS ,THANKS,

Thank you so much. This really wiped the tears off of my face. I know one day everything is going to be good. I’m going to give up, I’m going to try harder and harder everyday to overcome this pain . & again Thank You So Much.
Patty says
This is one of the most uplifting articles that I have read in quite a long time. There were no scriptures used in this script; however the words create an evangelical message and could very well be supported by scripture.
I have been experiencing a tremendous string of mishaps. All four vehicles in the household are in need of repair. I live an hour away from my job and I have absolutely no transportation. The vehicles broke down, each one week apart. Nonetheless, I have remained positive and I still have a smile on my face. I remind myself daily that things can only get better. I’ve hit rock bottom and there’s nowhere else to go but up.
Thank you once again for such an encouraging message!
Debra Holland says
Wow! It’s not often I read something, and every word resonates with me because it’s what I believe and live and preach to others. How lovely to come across a soul friend by way of the internet.
Blessings, Marc!

Rita says
Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring article!

I stumbled across this in the midst of packing to move. I didn’t want to move, and when I read #1 where it says, …”we often won’t move unless circumstances force us to” – it must have been a divine message. Now I’m packing with a little more purpose and enthusiasm.

At this stage of my life, it is clear to me, I MUST not give up doing ALL the things I continue to do for others. Although, I am THANKFUL everyday, I have not been happy for many, many, years. My mom suffering over a year and a half with brian cancer, my wife’s personal struggles, my hundreds of students with their daily struggles and tribulations. Also, the daily outside negative forces that seem to thrive. Just see the daily stabbings of my people in Israel, the continuos misguided so-called presidential candidates eg. Donald Trump, who’s every word continues to inflict pain on thousands of people. Showing off “how much money you have” and not using ITS power to help people shows me, “how poor someone may be when they appear to be so rich!” I continue to pray to the Almighty to give me the power NOT to give up, see happier days, and allow me the power to ‘be part of the solution and NOT part of the problem!” I do hope, I’ll see better days but I am very tired….

Thank you! I needed to read and understand this.
Allison Montgomery says
One of my absolute favorite posts. The quote in the beginning is beautiful… “in a strange way I feel like the lucky one.” If only we all realized this every day. All 8 pieces of this list are so crucial and relevant. Thank you for sharing!
Andrea says
I came across this article while trying to figure out why my life feels like a constant stream of bad luck. After reading this, I have realized that my bad luck is really just life’s little challenges and so many people have it so much worse. Thank you for opening my eyes to a new view and focus in life.

Thank you so much Marc and Angel for this! Your post has really helped me out a lot. Everything has been going wrong in my life for so long and 2015 has been my worst year to date. But I believe that I will get through all the pain and live my best life. Stay blessed you two and keep up the good work!!

Vesko says
Thank you so very much for the amazing article. I read this maybe two years ago or something like that and ever since, every time I have some difficulties , I find it again on the internet and read, and read, and read. It really helps.
I am in a period now, when everything I have had in the recent past is falling apart. I might lose my job, therefore I might stay without a home with not much chances for shelter etc. And I made a stupid mistake to make the one I liked so much to hate me.
You know, it might sound stupid of me to say it, but I will be 24 soon and there’s one thing I realized in life- that the older you get the better life gets. And not because problems and challenges just disappear, but because whatever happens to you, it most probably has already happened to you before. You have been fired, you have been broken hearted, you have lost and gained. Hence, whatever it is, it can’t really surprise you.
Thank you again.
Owen says
Man, I’ve been in your shoes before, 3 times actually. You have better chance at navigating the path than I did. I was blind for so long, still am, lol.I’ll give you something…. the more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know.
Fran says

RJ says
Thank you so much for posting this article. My feelings about my life moving forward will be of positivity. Knowing that life will not always be milk and honey. But I feel I have the strength to take the bitter with the sweet…
Thanks again for the awakening article.
Jayne says
Thank you for this article… I needed all eight lessons today like you wouldn’t believe! Shadows of the past have been darkening the doorstep of my future… and I’ve lost a love today because of it… I decided the other day to take steps to change things and it WILL be one of the biggest steps of my life…

Try to do something for someone else each day. By doing this you get your mind off yourself .
Lisa Madril says
Thank you, this makes so much sense, I’m going thru a really touch time at work and they are trying to make me leave. My stuff is being stolen, broken and I am being bullied. Thank you because a lot of this makes sense and No Weapon formed against me shall prosper and thru God Grace and Mercy I will stand in the strength of the Lord. Thanks again.

And don’t forget to say your prayers, as my mom always used to say.
Lynn Fountain says
Life is a journey. The road is not always easy and sometimes you stumble when there is no one there to catch you. The trick is for you to get up in your own and keep moving
Jana says
Thank you so much! Today I needed this. My life has been in a downhill slide for sometime, and these words are strong.
zuzeka nkatshu says
Thank you very much for this article that helped lift my spirit a little.
Strafbacht says
Thanks.
I don’t often look for encouragement. Though lately my life has been a bit more of a bumpy road, which leads me to a mild short-term depression. So I’ve been having mostly negative thoughts, especially about “how good it was back in the past” line of thoughts. These lines helped lift me a bit. The prospect of my future is unknown waters, but I guess, I feeling a bit better now.
I still wished I’d be an artist instead of an engineer though. *slightly weeps silently*
Buut, I’ll probably get to it in the future. No, I WILL.
On other hand, I’m slightly regretting not taking architecture instead, but only slightly. Cuz’ at least my current qualifications will secure me a job in this SEA country.

All my life I have bourne the sorrows of struggle. I was born with Tetrology of fellot, a heart defect. This prevented me from participating in a life of sports and adventure to some degree, but I used it to become adventurous in my mind and heart. I had surgery at the age of seven, and during my hospital stay I witnessed many others my age pass away from various diseases and defects. I learned early how precious life is, and often would ask “why am I still alive”. As years rolled along, my life has been fraught with many countless sorrows. My first wife committed suicide, I was battling cancer, and just lost EVERYTHING in the recent floods that swept louisiana! Today I am going to see my oncologist about future treatments and what we may be able to try. I refuse to surrender. I will never quit. I lived this long when far better people have passed on, and I owe them and myself the efforts of battle to never stop! Yes….it hurts deeply to look at my past, and yes, my present hurts as well. I am facing a huge task….surviving cancer, rebuilding my life again, and just pressing onward….but I will move on!
I am now 53 and have beaten these conflicts at every turn….and I must keep trying. I can’t get depressed or shaken too long…because the war is too great! My advice to others is pray, seek God, and never throw up the white flag or lay down your sword! Swing that thing!!!! Fight! Win!!!!
