If everything was super easy and I didn't have to face the odd bump in the road or difficult time then I guess my 'resilience muscles' wouldn't be in such good shape.

No matter how sorted you think you are, you will always be surrounded by people who are lost and angry. They will test you time and time again.

The hardest thing about finding forgiveness is that you had to find it at all.

Sometimes we know not where or how far we are going until we stop and think about just how far we have come and why.

Some things are sent to test us. Clearly you must be good at problem solving if you are being set tough exams.

Sometimes the answers are not there until we stand still and listen. But they are there and they are usually surrounded by love. You are too.

When everything around you seems bleak, sick and empty - the antidote is forgiveness and love of yourself, and others, plus a dollop of gratitude.
