When you are feeling down, remember this. No one can take from you these two things: The love you have in your heart, and the wisdom you have gained over the years. When you feel challenged, you may feel you’ve lost these two things.

At times like this, it’s helpful to recall that even the most terrible events in your past have brought you gifts used in the present. Right now you have inside you, the two things you need most to fulfill your life – love and wisdom. Get back into the affirmation of what you do have. Warm your spirit by refocusing your thoughts.
