Life can be hard. The days can be long. The nights can be short. The demands can seem like they never end. Just when you start to get up, you get kicked back down again. Sometimes hope is impossible to see or to feel. Do any of these thoughts resonate with you? When life gets the best of you, what do you do? Where’s your hope?

While I can’t know the complexities of what you face at times, just as I don’t know of the struggles that I will face in the future, I do have a lifeline of hope for the days when life gets hard in these five truths.

You are right where you are supposed to be, even when it feels wrong

This truth is especially true if you are a Christian, as I am. As Christians we know that we don’t have the entire picture, that we are never alone, and that all things work together for good. None of us can ever understand everything that happens to us, but we can accept that we are right where we are supposed to be – all the time.

You are the right person for the job

Whatever it is that challenges you, you are the one to take on the challenge. You are stronger than you think you are, and you are able to handle whatever comes your way. You may feel weak, but hang on to this lifeline of truth, internalizing that you are the right person for the job.

No one is perfect

I’m not perfect, you’re not perfect, and neither is the person who seems better equipped than you do to walk the path that you’re on. We all make mistakes, we all fall short, and we all can get up and keep going when we totally blow it.

It’s ok to not have all the answers

This one is a hard one for me, and it is something that I still struggle to embrace at times. I have found, however, that when I do, I find it to be SO freeing! Internalizing uncertainty makes me physically sick most times, and this is always my signal that I need to step back, let go, and take one baby stop forward, even if I have no idea where I’m going.

It’s ok to take some time for yourself

This is especially true when you’re in a hard place. Sometimes, we just have to lick our wounds and try to patch ourselves up while taking a bit of time off whatever that might mean in your life. Don’t feel guilty for having to take a bit of time for yourself sometimes. It is only when we do this that we can fully give to others.

While there are so many other things that I think could be of value to add here, I wanted to give you a lifeline of hope that is concise, to the point, and actionable right now. For most of us, life isn’t without its trials. However, we can always choose hope while intentionally doing what we can to grab a lifeline. This one could be just what you need!
