Question: What phrase/idea comforts you the most in life!?
Putting aside our personal life philosophies, I think we all have a few phrases that comfort us in life!. I'm curious what everyone elses are!.
The phrase/idea that always comforts me is that when we leave ourselves open to possibilities and opportunities and "go with the flow", God kindof pushes us in the direction we are meant to go!. In other words, things always seem to work themselves out when you stop over-planning your life and start taking the hints life throws at you!.
For example, I planned my whole life on going to medical school!. However I did rather poorly in my heavy science classes in undergrad!. I refused to take the hint though and pushed on with applications!. But when I eventually got rejected from medical schools, I was actually relieved!. I ended up living abroad for 2 years and am now at one of the best schools in the country doing something completely different that I love!. Just can't help but think this isn't all by chance!. It was meant to be this way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Everything happens for a reason!."
I don't know if I believe it (I don't believe in much of everything) - but it's the thing I most want to be true, and the phrase I return to when anything goes wrong for anyone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
This phrase comforts me in the fact that it proves that others think the way I do, and that indeed I am not alone in my beliefs!. " Look at your hand, greatness is made from the ashes of others, like the first monkey shot into space, without pain, without sacrafice, we would have nothing!. " Our fathers were our models for God, if our Fathers failed us, what does that tell you about God!? Have you ever that God doesn't like you, He never wanted you, and in all probability he hates you!. "Www@QuestionHome@Com
every effort counts!. that it doesn't matter if i win or lose and that i just have to do what i can at the moment without worrying of my ranking in life because we are where we are supposed to be!. we may be taking it slow or moving in fast depending on the kind of persons we are but we're all gonna end up on the same goal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"The sun'll come out, tomorrow, so ya better hang on till tomorrow, when there's sun!. When I'm stuck with a day, that's gray, and lonely, I just stick out my chin, and grin, and say!.!.!.Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love ya, tomorrow, you're only a day away!."-Little Orphan Annie, lol!. I've been singing that song to cheer myself up since I was about 5, and it still works every time!. It may seem silly, but it reminds me that as long as I'm still breathing, tomorrow will always come!. Any troubles I have are temporary in the grand scheme of things, and life will eventually get better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
