| Posted 7 months ago A king called all his wise men and counselors together for a meeting. He addressed them saying " I want you to go and think, read, and search. Consult the wisest and most learned men in the land. Spare no expense. I want you to find the ONE statement that will get me through all situations in life, whether I am on top of the world or in the pits-find me that statement. I want one simple statement-no long and complicated philosophies. Find it or write it. Just bring it to me." The men left and consulted for many months. Finally, they returned and handed the king a scroll. The king unrolled the scroll. On it were written 4 words-THIS TOO SHALL PASS. The wise men explained-whether you're on top of the world or in the pits_THIS TOO SHALL PASS. *No matter what your circumstances-remember- This too Shall pass. Most of the things we worry about are temporary and these 4 words will apply. |

|
| Posted 7 months ago I love that saying 'THIS TOO SHALL PASS' It's helped me alot over the years... and I've quoted it to others. I also like the train station quote as again, it's helped me. Another variation of that theme is for when people are anxious about how they will cope with some upcoming situation...
