Be patient, live life, have faith. Always pray!

If there is one thing that life will always have to offer us, it will come in the form of disappointment. People will disappoint us, we will disappoint ourselves, our plans will fall through sometimes, and not everything that we will achieve will always be as we envisioned it. 

We must be willing to look at disappointment in the positive, and say to ourselves that God must have some better in store for us. 

We must also be willing to be patient, and try not to force what isnt meant to be. Live the life that you know you should be living in spite of everything that goes wrong, because if you stop living nothing will move in your favor at all. Just have faith, and eventually you will have more than you ever thought you could have, and you will be places that you never thought you could be.

Disappointments are just God's way of saying "I've got something better."

 Be patient, live life, have faith. Always pray!
