The brick walls are there for a reason...

... The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They're there to stop the other."
--- Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

In life, we will be constantly faced with obstacles, that much is inevitable. However, how we deal with these obstacles is entirely up to us. We can shy away and hide in our own little bubbles, or we can stand up and face our problems with an optimistic attitude. Sometimes, we feel like we won't be able to make it through, sometimes we feel like things are so bad, they can't possibly get better anytime soon. What we fail to realize is that there is constantly beauty all around us. We are never given more than we can handle. God knows us better than we know ourselves, and He will never give a situation we are unable to deal with. At the end of the day, everything will turn out to be okay.
