The phrase 'This too shall pass' has always resonated with me. It captures the transient nature of both joy and hardship, reminding me that nothing is permanent.
I first encountered it in a historical novel, where a king sought wisdom to stay humble. The simplicity of those four words carries profound weight—whether facing adversity or basking in success, they ground me. It's not about dismissing emotions but recognizing their fleetingness, which strangely brings comfort.
What I love most is its universality. It applies to personal struggles, creative blocks, even global events. It’s a mantra that adapts, refusing to let any single moment define an entire journey.
