Spark of week 3: It can't rain forever

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. It is time for the spark of the week’s next post. This is an initiative where every week I post a quote/thought/reflection submitted by a teen from our community, adults are welcome to partake in the discussions around it. But submissions are limited to only teens! 


This week’s quote comes from @CraftyCat3606

"Be strong now because things will get better. It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever" - Unknown

Thank you for the quote!

This is your weekly reminder that you only need to focus on dealing with the storm at hand, not the rain that happened yesterday or the weather forecast for next week! 

Other quotes that share some of the same meaning!

  • Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance but to do what lies clearly at hand. - Thomas Carlyle 
  • live in day-tight compartments - Sir William Osler


What does this look like in action?

  • Do whatever the hour demands of you. If you have a class at 11 am, all you have to do is attend that and not think of what is at 1 pm or 11 am tomorrow. You are only concerned with doing whatever the class demands of you. 
  • Realizing that you are only responsible for this exact moment and what to do with it. If you can show up every day and do your best, then you have done your job! 'For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.' - T.S Eliot

Share any quotes that have the same meaning as our quote of the week! You can also share your thoughts on what balance means to you. 

Note: Please keep the comments light-hearted, and avoid sharing content that can be triggering to others or disrupt the light-hearted theme of the series. 


Teens please submit quotes, thoughts and reflections to be featured as part of spark of the week through this form.

@CraftyCat3606 great quote choice! reminds me of the chorus from a song i love:
It won't rain all the time
The sky won't fall forever
And though the night seems long
Your tears won't fall forever

I find this poem to be helpful as I have been going through a rough season.
