There are times when you feel like the world is against you and everything is going wrong. You may be feeling this way because of a bad day at work or some other life event that has made you feel like no one can understand what you’re going through.
But what if everyone around you was complaining? What if everyone else was feeling the same as you were? How would it change your perspective?
It might make it seem easier to get through your day, or at the very least, it might help motivate others to step up and try to make a difference in their own lives. Although giving up may not be easy, taking it back is even more challenging.
