There are many things in life you try hard not to remember.

But there are others you can't afford to forget.

Here are 11 of the most powerful:

Time Heals

The burden you're carrying today will be lighter tomorrow.

The wound you incurred last week won't hurt as bad next week.

The shattering setback from last year will be a lesson learned next year.

Get through today and let tomorrow do its job.

Hope Helps

Hope is risky.

It feels safer to live without it.

If you don't hope, you can't hurt.

But hope shapes a vision of a better future.

It gives you the ability to endure and keep going.

Don't surrender to the safety of despair.

Struggles Shape

The idea of a life free of difficulty sounds ideal.

Of course you're drawn to it.

But it's in the struggle that you are forged and formed.

Challenge, discomfort, adversity - these are what your soul needs for growth.

Don't escape them. Embrace them.

Work Wins

Under Augustus Caesar, the Romans adopted a motto:

Labor Omnia Vincit ⏤

"Work conquers all."

When in doubt,

Put your head down and get to work.
