Conquering our problems is 100% easier said than done. Even in the worst of times, one must not hold their life and future as a total disaster. The problems of the moment may try to engulf how you view yourself, they can not and will not last forever. Job loss, sickness, depression, financial problems, and other issues can affect us all at any time are not who you are; they might be in the moment, but you have more to contribute during your life. Nothing is permanent, not even the bad times.
Stay vigilant, keep an eye out for your blessings coming toward you, and don't lose hope.
