There are things I've never learned about this particular saint. O_o

This just begs the question: IS THIS WHERE THE ELVES CAME FROM? And I thought Willy Wonka was awful for the way he got HIS workers... (Though I guess eating mashed caterpillars might not have been all that pleasant for the Oompa Loompas, and chocolate IS much nicer, but I digress.)

I had a theology teacher talk about the whole turning the other cheek thing and how this gets misinterpreted. It was actually defiance, as in 'is that the best you can do? Try this cheek as well!'. Defiance. I love the message behind this cartoon!

If you feel like giving up, read this:

1. This is a Phase.

Tough times are just a phase. They don't last forever. Life is a cycle of highs and lows. Remember, this too shall pass. You're in the middle of the storm now, but clear skies are ahead. Hold on.

2. You Are Stronger Than You Think.

Never underestimate your resilience.

- You've survived 100% of your bad days.

- Inside you, there is an inner strength.

- Your potential is greater than any problem.

Remember, you're stronger and more capable than you believe.

3. Small Steps Count.

Progress isn't always a leap forward. Sometimes it's tiny, almost imperceptible steps. Each step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal. Celebrate every bit of progress. Slow and steady can still win the race. Keep moving forward.

4. Remember Your 'Why'.

Think back to the reasons why you started. Reconnect with your motivation and your goals.

5. Failure is a Stepping Stone.

It's okay to fall but it's important to rise again. Every setback brings learning opportunities. Remember, every great success story involves overcoming obstacles. Keep going. Your story is being written.

6. Practice Self-Care.

Self-care is essential, especially during tough times.

- Eat nutritious food

- Exercise regularly

- Get adequate sleep

- Connect with loved ones

- Engage in activities that bring joy.

It’s not selfish, it's survival. Your well-being matters.

7. It's Okay to Ask for Help.

Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

- Reach out to friends, family, or professionals

- Open up about your struggles

- Seek support when you need it

Strength isn't just about enduring in silence. It's also knowing when to ask for help.

To my friends and readers, Fight for yourself. No matter how difficult it becomes, never let yourself give in. After some time, your spark will eventually return. You will come out happier, healthier, and wiser.

John Lennon was a trailblazer who pushed the boundaries of creativity and social awareness. His legacy is still felt today, decades after his untimely death. Beyond his music, John Lennon was a revolutionary thinker who was ahead of his time in many ways ✌❤️🧡💛
