The key is to keep the big picture always in mind, even when
it seems so far away. In my life, I have faced many moments that
could have destroyed me. I could have gotten lost in the details
of those events and become swept away by the emotions that accompany
them. I have come to realize, however, that life situations,
no matter how difficult, are only temporary.
You must remember that life is not a romantic movie. When
you take a big step forward in life, it is not likely that anyone will
be there to say, “Congratulations! You are so brave! Here is your
reward.” If you have someone that supportive in your life, that’s
great, but don’t count on it. In fact, life sometimes dishes up exactly
the opposite.
