Pain overwhelms you.
Like you’ve just been punched in the gut or kicked in the teeth.
I get it.
But I promise you; it’s going to be okay.
Just get back up.

Heartache prevails and tears surround you.
From the love you lost and the time you feel you wasted.
I understand.
But this too shall pass.
If you just get back up.

Fear consumes you.
With the though of being penniless and homeless.
Boy, can I relate.
But you will find a solution.
If you just get back up.

You might not know it yet.
But you have an unyielding strength.
The ability to thrive in the face of adversity and chaos.
Don’t believe me?
Just get back up.

Trust me.
When you stand on your own two feet, the shakiness will dissipate.
When you open your eyes, the darkness will subside.
When you start to put one foot in front of the other, everything seems possible.
Yes, because you got back up.

Don’t waste this opportunity to start anew.
There’s no need to feel guilt, shame or remorse.
You deserve to be happy; it’s your God-given right.
Never stop searching, nor settle for anything less.
And whatever you do—always get back up.
