Life is never short on its supply of problems. Sometimes bad things can happen unexpectedly. Life throws us curve balls and sometimes they hit us hard, but it doesn’t mean the end is near.
A happy life is not synonymous with a perfect, carefree life (is there such a thing?); it means you have the courage and optimism to make the best of just about anything. Here are 13 powerful quotes about worrying for when life hits you hard.
