“This too shall pass.”
A few weeks ago, as I was scrolling through my YouTube feed, I came across a roundtable discussion with Tom Hanks, Jamie Foxx, Adam Sandler, Adam Driver, Robert De Niro, and Shia LaBeouf.
My first thought was to scroll past it.
“What can I learn from a table full of actors?” I thought to myself.
Then, I was reminded that they may be actors by profession, but they’re also people.
People who may be full of wisdom and experiences that I haven’t had.
So, I challenged my own assumption and clicked, “play.”
5 minutes.
10 minutes.
25 minutes later, I was still watching it.
Eyes glued to the computer screen, listening to every word.
Then, I heard something I haven’t heard before.
“This too shall pass,” said Tom Hanks.
Tom’s words reminded me that nothing in life is permanent, everything is temporary.
Whether I feel angry, sad, or joyful, these emotions will pass.
From one human being to another, when you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost, remember - this too shall pass.
You're not alone in this journey.
Take a deep breath, give yourself time, and keep moving forward 😊
