I like to re-read this on particularly "difficult" days.
I hope others enjoy it and find solace in it during trying times:

All Things Pass - Lao-Tzu
All things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
All things pass
Nor a sunset all night
All things pass
What always changes?
–
Earth…sky…thunder…
mountain…water…
wind…fire…lake…
–
These change
And if these do not last
–
Do man’s visions last?
Do man’s illusions?
–
Take things as they come
–
All things pass
