Why not me?

"It may be safely assumed that no person has ever lived
 entirely free of suffering and sorrow, nor has there ever been a period in human history that did not have its full share of turmoil and misery.

When the pathway of life takes a cruel turn, there is the temptation to ask the question “Why me?” At times there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel, no sunrise to end the night’s darkness. We feel encompassed by the disappointment of shattered dreams and the despair of vanished hopes. We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. We are inclined to view our own personal misfortunes through the distorted prism of pessimism. We become impatient for a solution to our problems, forgetting that frequently the heavenly virtue of patience is required.

The difficulties which come to us present us with the real test of our ability to endure. A fundamental question remains to be answered by each of us: Shall I falter, or shall I finish? Some do falter as they find themselves unable to rise above their challenges. To finish involves enduring to the very end of life itself." -Thomas S. Monson 

This post won't be great and lengthy. All I truly wanted to say was the above quote and add a few things. When you have hit rock bottom you have nothing left to be afraid of, because it can only go up. You can not fail anymore. You then are limited to two choices: wallow in your misfortunes or pick yourself up and say, "why not me?". There have been times where I did ask, "why me?" and I am glad I picked myself up. If not for that moment in time I would not have realized my worth, my loves, and what I was capable of doing. Don't allow someone or something to hold you down. You will always have tomorrow. If everyone turns on you, don't turn on yourself.
