Abiding goodness

During life’s most difficult moments you discover you’re stronger than you ever could have imagined. It’s always good to remember that.

When the worst happens, you have the opportunity to be your best. When challenges bear down on you and prior hopes fade into distant memory, a new and stronger hope is already beginning to build.

Though all sorts of calamities can pull you a long way down, nothing can rob you of the ability to connect with life’s goodness. Through your own desire for it to do so, that goodness prevails, despite the odds against it.

Goodness stays firmly planted in your heart, where you can always keep it alive. And because you know how it feels so completely right, that is what you do.

In the everyday moments, goodness lives. In the most joyful times and during the darkest days, it becomes more deeply entrenched and meaningful.

Pause to remember all that has gone before, and look ahead at possibilities that are now springing to life. Through it all, underneath it all, you carry an abiding goodness that you will never be without.
