2. Life is good

Life is difficult, life is unfair, life is challenging and sometimes painful. And life is so very good. There are frustrations, tragedies, disappointments, setbacks, heartbreaks, and absurdities. The simple joy of being outweighs them all.

Life is good, because within its realm, anything is possible. Life is good, because no matter how far you fall, there is always a way to climb back up again.
