Truth for you:

The truth is, self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success.  Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself.  Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that your power is made perfect in times of weakness.  Do not spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away.  Be grateful for the moments requiring you to be still.  Dead flowers may provide the environment to create new blooms given time, nourishment, patience, and faith.  Before you realize, a garden will flourish before your eyes.
