“His grief he will not forget; but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.”

• JRR Tolkien

Don’t allow your suffering to poison your spirit.

Many of us experience pain and heartbreak and throw in the towel in life. 

We become bitter. We lose faith and are purposeless.

Our struggles are not meant to break us and keep us broken.

They’re meant to break us so that we can rebuild ourselves stronger and wiser. 

Our troubles are assigned to us in order to give us the wisdom to help others overcome the same things that we’ve experienced.

Our purpose is not to have life destroy our souls.

It is to find meaning in the suffering and share our insights with those that are still struggling.
